Bye Bye , all => Update !!!

[RedKetchup]

bye bye everyone !!!


hehe not for long time hopefully  ^^

i've got alot of problem with my mother board lately, sometimes it can take me 3-4 hrs to successfully start my computer. black screen, cant pass the CMOS init....
or sometimes i succeed to pass but i arrive in windows : no network card
no internet card (integrated) that mean = no internet

and sometimes i can pass a week without any problems.
so my mother board is going to hell, it seems.

I just received last hour my new computer parts

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 with WraithCooler cpufan. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WP5YCX6
Motherboard ASUS Prime B350-Plus.   https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/PRIME-B350-PLUS/
4x8GB (32) Gskill DDR4 2400Mhz  https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231796

1025$ Can total (with $exchange / transports / taxes)


so this is a little bye bye LOL
i need to shut down my tower, deplug, bring it to my table, pull out everything!
I need to changes also all my case fans that doesnt work anymore, replace all those fans with new fans i have in stock somewhere in a box....
cleanup a bit.

and then put my new cpu on new motherboard, the new fan, the new memory, screw it in my tower, plug everything and close the tower ^^


and i should comeback later tonight !! ^^ (will take all day, part of the evening.... )
Bye bye till then !

Make sure you grab a metal waterline or something to discharge yourself of possible static electricity.

See you soon

BTW, first time I read the topic header I was like WTF? Red is going to abandon us?

I love newegg. I but about all PC stuff over there

[calli74]

Ohh, Red, exciting, hope all goes well with the upgrades.

[Paeng]

Bonne chance, hope everything goes smooth! 

[RedKetchup]

doesnt go well, it doesnt start

the stupid manual doesnt talk anything about troubleshotting.

i need to go search on asus website

[embx61]

Do you get beeps when you start? (Error code beeps)

[RedKetchup]

Do you get beeps when you start? (Error code beeps)

yeah it does 1 loud beep after like 10 sec

and then, with little speaker i hear like 4 beeps after another 3 sec

[RedKetchup]

i am presently on my old computer that i've put in another tower with another vcard
i ve got to switch my SSD though so i can load windows 7

[QueryEverything]

@RedKetchup oh wow, congrats on the upgrade, what an amazing undertaking!!

Sorry to hear about your beeping problem though, we had a look here (I've had beeping issues before on my tower, but baby Big Mumma is in storage until I have room for her in the new office space), the ASUS website is pretty good, I found what I think it may be (depending on your beeps) https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1029959 - I'm pretty sure you would've found that though   In my case it was something else entirely.  I hope yours isn't as bad as that faq.

I'm with @embx61 though, I go afk for a couple of days and I see the title "Topic: Bye Bye , all"  I was all ...  OMFG, what??? nooooo....  then I had to click, then cursed you for 'click bait', ROFLMAO 

Happy to read though that you're doing this, may the upgrade go smoothly, once you've ironed out the wrinkles. 

[embx61]

Yeah, I think Red got a faulty MB.

1 long beep and then 4 short ones is mostly a sign of some hardware failure.

Let's hope they sort it out for him as ASUS is a good brand. I have a ASUS MB too.

[RedKetchup]

there is a computer shop in my little town... i took out the MB from the tower. i ve let the cpu, cpufane, ddr4 2400 4x8gb on it. i've put my vcard on it and bring it to him.
i explained the case and he will check today, this morning or begining of afternoon.

i wished and tried to push him to check "now" but refused. he will check today and call me after.

probably the motherboard is failed and i will have to go nearest city tommorow and get another motherboard in wait to get credited/refunded/another one from the USA computer centers from where i ordered.

/shrug.


for the moment i am with old computer that i rebuilt in another tower i had in the closet and i transfered my SSD card so i can surf in windows 7 for the day / till it is fixed or i am fixed of what i need to do.

[RedKetchup]

so it was the little CPU Fan connector that was not plugged  into the good connector, it was running but the motherboard wasnt able to see it :S

so it works fine
but my windows 7 didnt wanted to start : crash. too much new material.
so i ve got to format my SSD and reinstall win7

abd i ve got so much trouble LOL i dont have any usb 1.0 anymore ( 2 x 2.0, 4 x 3.0, 2 x 3.1 ) so the window install wasnt reconizing my mouse and keyboard
lucky i was to have found a usb=>ps2 connector so i've could at least install with the keyboard.

it started to get better once i could get my mouse working and internet card working ^^


i have probably 2-3 days of install ahead of me. i need to reinstall everything !!!!!

[QueryEverything]

Oh wow @RedKetchup you have been through the ringer!!

At least though your error turned out to be 'minor', but still a royal pain the ar$e!!

Fingers crossed for a swift rebuild and installation!! 

When you install, will you be installing to a secondary drive, D etc, with the symbolic links from C to D?
I've found that since I started doing that rebuilding my PC always seemed faster    

[RedKetchup]

my C:\ is a SSD card which is very small. i need one day to upgrade that too.

so i only have placed for my windows. All my apps (3dsmax, photoshop, gimp, banished, games, everything) : are installed on another drive

will take me a couple of days.
and at the end i ll reinstall Acronis and do a save of my C:

[Abandoned]

Good luck with all that @RedKetchup
