3 weeks?

Ok.. so now I've been without my lovely computer for about 3 weeks... So here's an update.

First off... I got told wrong about the size of my Motherboard.. so I got one too big (fortunately I had an extra case... even looks cooler).
So the new MoBo comes in... I spend an afternoon transferring the proprietary HP stuff (seriously... unless you know what's what.. just sell off you rHP for parts to someone who knows a lot and buy/build a new PC) over to the new case. Only to discover I get the same prob mostly. I go in and end up buying some thermal compound and a fan (processor seemed to be overheating) and a brand new power supply (nice one too).
So now I have a new PSU, MoBo, and Box... I plug everything in, organize my case. Install the fans and extras... now it won't boot. I mess with the Cmos for a while... nothing.

Needless to say, it stops when it tries to boot from the Hard Drive (both HDD and all devices do work). Screen stops everything and it just gives a constant set of short beeps. Thing'll boot-up with my Linux Live CD, but not this hard drive. I've pulled and replugged cables and every thing's a no-go. So now I'm fixing to graduate in about two weeks (April 28th.. oh yeah!) and my silicon-friend is offline...

Well anyway that's an update on me... I should be at a wireless spot tomorrow and if I have time I plan to drop by and see different sites again...

Godspeed all!
