naw, i tried with the F2, it is locked up before the screen shows up

it shows the fill bar at the bottom being about 1/3rd of the way filled, but it is like that as soon as the screen shows

fans were running

So you are saying that you reboot the computer, and as soon as the power goes one and you keep hitting the F2 repeatedly and yet is still won't let you go to the bios ? If that's the case then you have a hardware issue. Something major, like motherboard, cpu, power supply, video card. memory... did you try opening the case and check to make sure all the components are connected well ? You might need to disconnect and then connect a component to make sure.

yeap

I replaced the HD, and checked the wires and plugs, checked the mem

hmmm, you not going to let me get any sleep tonight, sounding like it may be more dead then i was hoping

I may needed you to get me some data I can use, I think all of my sites and docs are going to be down for a while

G5/AS, G6/AS, G14/AS, basic stats/dates and such (those last two looked good, but, even translated, wasn't able to pull much of what I needed)

Sorry to hear Hard Sarge...I don't bother with desktops anymore...I only use laptops now. If I really need the 3D stuff I use my PS3.

Regarding the G-6/AS and G-14/AS, my last message in the "Additional aircraft info" thread has the G-6/AS performance data chart. Check out the links at the bottom of that message. I'm actually surprised you were able to find G-5/AS performance data. The G-5/AS engine cover should look very similar to G-6/AS meaning no MG bulges like you see on standard G-6. Take a look at the G-6/AS and G-14/AS pictures in my last post...that's pretty much how G-5/AS will look like. The message also has dates, also what units has received the G-6/AS and G-14/AS. I can provide factories and serial numbers if needed.

You've had more computer crashes in the years I've know you than Gordon Brown has had public relations fubars.

Nice to know our politics makes press in US these days...

<slap>

I'm an aussie...

We always keep an eye on the mother country.

they looked at it, said the HD died, replace the HD and reinstall the OSsnf I should be good to go, picked up two HDs, get home, and the computer still don't see the HDs (get farther in then before)

I thinking it is the HD controller that is bad

Sounds like you are going nowhere fast!

well, if we look on the brite side of things, it may, mean my HD and all my "Stuff" is still good and I will of doubled my HD size

on the bad aide side, more may be wrong then a easy fix is going to do

heck took it back and now they say, it may be two days to do the testing, before we figure out what needs to be done

Jeez Sarge,
You go through Puters faster than I go through Shoes bro!! I am still running the last one I built back on Ought Zero. I see you running a Dell.. I highly recommed you build your own. Almost as easy and you know what you got under the hood. I have swapped out lots of components over the years and slowly upgraded to the max I can on my board. This year I will build The Next Generation with Technology from This Century... LOL... I still run my original 386 and my old Pentium 150 machine as well. Yeah, all built by me. The only one I did not build was my Apple II E. The First and Last store bought computer. Love the old "Legend" software.

Later,
KayBay

well, we working now


(I work by swinging a slege hammer and bending Alum forgings, not sure it is a good idea for me to try and put things together)

got to get all the junk hooked back up and running

got tons of stuff to put back in

of course, I pulled out of the drive way to go to the bank this morning, and the front right spring broke, so got the car in the shop now, replacing the springs and stuts, ahhhhhhh

I am down

got the HD and OS in, got other things dead now, called tech and they sending somebody out end of the week, says the network card is dead, plus I think other things are too, but they say those are just driver needs

picked a good week for vaction

Any week is a good week for a vacation.

well, this really sucks

took me some time, but got my extranal drive hooked up and running, but can run the game, got about 30 copies of the game, but can't run it, had to go be a beta tester and down load a old copy, so I can install it, of course, doing that from the laptop, to move it over to the main

(had me worried there for a bit, I need that Drive !!!!)

LOL

I had passed on some files to Nick for safe keeping, I was about to write to him to ask him to send them back to me L(

my computer is still basicly down, but I can run the game and my tools on the main computer now, just have to keep moving stuff between the laptop and the main

your PM is full again. [:D]

On that last......try clicking on the START menu and see if your network places is there.

you write faster then I can delete them

I show a ISP, and my net connector, so it is on, but not sending/getting (of course, now, I got the cable hooked up to the laptop

but when cable hooked up, it is not sending or getting

well, knock on wood

had tech over, spent a few hours and still couldn't get it all working, had to call tech support from his numbers, and got a good tech, who spent about 3 hours working on the insides of it

basicly, most of it was stupid (little stuff like the Aud Drivers I needed, were part of the Vid Controller drivers package, even the tech started laffing, no wounder I couldn't find them, he spent about 45 minutes on the phone and on the computer)

over all, I would say the suppost I had to get it back up and running was very shoddy, but once I got though and got to the tech's, they were very good and helpful

funny, after the call was over, the Manager wanted to talk to me, to see how the help was, it seemed like he was even trying to lead me into saying bad things, told him, I was very happy with the Tech, and she did a outstanding job, he was like, oh, okay, if you are happy, have a nice day

HS, this almost sounds like the old Hee Haw song "Doom, Despair & Agony". [:'(]

some times you just can't win, think I got most of it back up, then the monitor starts acting up, not sure, but if that goes out, then I am stuck !

so ordered a new one, which I can use that, and keep this one as a back up, or (get fancy later and set up a duel)

so, got me a 27 inch, 1080 HD coming today

oh boy

enjoy your new giant monitor [:D].. Sounds like you need a bit of cheering up after the PC debacle recently.

Best wishes
