Hi Guys, I have a question regardin my brother's crappy PC which
died recently. Below are the specs.
Pentium 4 HT 2.8GHz Socke 478
Intel 865GLC Motherboard
4 x 256mb DDR400
160GB Seagate Hard Drive
BFG Geforce 7300GT 512mb AGP
---------------------------
And a Crappy Isonic 350watt PSU
--------------------------------
Anyway the reason I think it died was because of a faulty PSU.
It still switched on for like a minute for me to check the PC
Health Status.
I noticed that the 3.3v Rail was reading as 4.2v! That can't be
right??? Anyway, I don't really care about most of the parts...
They're probably stuffed. But I just want to know...
What are the odds that the 7300GT was Killed in the Process???
I should have looked at the earlier signs. PC freezing up with
Psychadelic Colours showing on the screen etc.
But at that time, I just couldn't bring myself to care.
Anyway... bottom line is. I gave the board, CPU & Ram
to someone who believed he could use parts from it.
And I've just sold the 7300GT for $46!
(I just pray I didn't sell someone a stuffed card.)
Please send me your opinions back. Thanks.
