how much should I ask for it or isn't it worth selling I know its getting off the point but......

There is a Members Market with a Price check forum in, read the FAQ to find out how to gain access.

Also there is no need to bump your post as CC is not that busy, and certainly no need to bump after a few hours, it doesn't go down too well here

Just noticed that i'm just about older than you

Putting a pc together is seriously easy to do, the only thing that you could possibly put in the wrong way is the floppy drive cable. Even then it won't kill the drive, the light will just be constantly on until you turn it back the other way round.

Take your time and it'll be alright

If you really want to be picky about thermal paste *** nyou could get some Arctic Silver 5 instead of using the MX-1 stuff, that's what i did. Also, people on here have posted before about how they think the Arcti Clean kit isn't really worth the money. It leaves a cleaner finish on the cpu but using cotton buds with some isopropyl alcohol will do just fine.

Older than who? thank you for advice.

what if i got like a diagram of my mobo and circled where everything goes
are the static wristbands any good?

Older than you

My birthday's in March, born in the same year.

Just take a photo of your pc's guts and have a look at it when rebuilding it.

I used to use an anti static wristband but i just cba to use it anymore

Touching a grounded object (a radiator for example) before working on your pc will do just fine.

Offer is open to my msn and I can give you some help.

quadboi · 30 May 2006 at 22:21

I have the Sunbeam Samurai, brought before I knew about ocuk, just wento n looks, however its not a bad case, good air flow..

collisster · 30 May 2006 at 22:42

OMFG OMFG, i nearly cried. i was sitting listening to music and voom the monitor went black, no response from any graphics output on my system, then i really started ******* myself. then in the end i plucked up courage to press the off button, I then put thing where they normally should be and powered up, (by this time i'm shaking like a *******dog) then it takes about 10 mins to boot up and all seems ok at the moment, any thoughts on what could have happened?

I've added you in my msn
sjohal2006 is the fan that came with your samurai really loud?

Many thanks, from collisster in shock

Have a read of that, you are not allowed to swear on these forums or if you want to it has to be completely starred out.

Could be many things, overheating came to mind as soon as I read that. But when you say it took 10 mins to boot up, where was it booting slow? On the windows loading screen?

Yewen · 30 May 2006 at 23:02

Could be the hard drive or the PSU, have you ran checkk disk?

collisster · 30 May 2006 at 23:04

nah the pc was still running all still lit up it was slow on the welcome screen

Theres still a word that needs starring

Also, you may want to check your voltages using a program like SpeedFan or Everest

Yewen · 30 May 2006 at 23:06

Yeh it can be if the HDD has just had a faulter, or if the PSU has just had a faulter.

Does not have to completely power down, motherboard and CPU are other potential causes.

Asume your running XP fully legitamate and updated?

collisster · 30 May 2006 at 23:11

edit: I found the swear word it was pretty obvious.
its running now ok. what voltages should I be looking for?
yeh fully legit windows

yeh fully legit

Just list all of the ones you have. 12v, 5v, 3.3v etc just to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary.

collisster · 30 May 2006 at 23:47

every thing looks normal in speed fan.
dunno what it was, hope it doesn't happen again
