Let's have a funeral for your dead mobo.

Ahem...

** solemnly **

We are gathered here today to say our last farewell to Psx's motherboard. Psx and his board had good times and bad times together.

Is there anyone who would like to add a few words to the no longer functioning deceased?

...

Let's proceed.

** burial, sounds of crying machines heard **

END.

Good luck with the building, Psx. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Dreamer of Nights) http://mobiusforum.net/sreply/316257 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:43:20 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Ruh-roh. ]]> http://mobiusforum.net/reply/316247/t/Ruh-roh-.html#reply-316247

You installed DirectX 10 on an XP machine.

...

DirectX 10 is only compatible with Vista and Win7, same as DX11 which comes with Win7 as standard. No official XP port of DX10 exists. I'd heard of an unofficial port but now I guess I know never to use it. :P

Not so much dead as starting to go lame. Obviously I'm still here which means the computer powers on and I can use it (to a degree). Speaking of booting up, I just remembered something: in recent weeks I've noticed the comp would take longer than usual to boot... sometimes it wouldn't show the Windows XP loading screen at all, remaining in some kind of limbo state between initial startup and the point where my CRT monitor "clicks" during a resolution change and HD access kicks into high gear. It does this once every 6-7 boots. I can't believe I forgot to mention it before, it could very well be related to the problem I'm having now.


Anyways, I went ahead and performed another... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Psxphile) http://mobiusforum.net/sreply/316174 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:50:14 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Ruh-roh. ]]> http://mobiusforum.net/reply/316165/t/Ruh-roh-.html#reply-316165 Psxphile wrote:

Well, thanks to the heads up. You've given me something to look into. However, the more I think about it, the more I feel it's time to chuck this 5 year-old Frankenstein's Monster of a PC and start again from scratch. All six? Front AND back? Front are usually connected separately to the mobo, ones on back are literally hard wired onto the mobo...

Sounds like it's a dead mobo. I could be wrong. I seriously doubt System Restore or DX10 might've messed with your USB drivers. So, wait till one of these guys reply; I don't think they do. At this point, however, doing one more system restore at least a day before the last one you did, (or, if you installed DX10 first THEN did a system restore, go a day or two before you installed DX10).

See if that helps.... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (jinsoku) http://mobiusforum.net/sreply/316165 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:09:56 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Ruh-roh. ]]> http://mobiusforum.net/reply/316164/t/Ruh-roh-.html#reply-316164

It's either your mobo dying, or your usb ports just fried on you, (yes, for no reason; this does and has happened to a lot of people, myself included). The sound dying could be an incredible coincidence with your DX10/restoring mishaps.

Have you tried ALL your usb ports? (Front, and back?) If they're all junk, the best thing you could do is to find a friend or someone who has an extra usb hub, (internal to install on your mobo, obviously), and see if those works. If they do, your usb is obviously kaputz. Buy a new one. (They're cheap to buy, too, if you can't find a friend with one). If the new ones to your mobo ALSO don't work, no matter which usb connector you connected it to, (USB1, USB2, USB3, etc...), then it's your mobo going kaputzki. Buy a new mobo and if your... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (jinsoku) http://mobiusforum.net/sreply/316163 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:58:12 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Ruh-roh. ]]> http://mobiusforum.net/reply/316162/t/Ruh-roh-.html#reply-316162 feeds@kickapps.com (Psxphile) http://mobiusforum.net/sreply/316162 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:48:45 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Ruh-roh. ]]> http://mobiusforum.net/reply/316158/t/Ruh-roh-.html#reply-316158 feeds@kickapps.com (Dr Lighthead) http://mobiusforum.net/sreply/316158 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:22:20 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Ruh-roh. ]]> http://mobiusforum.net/reply/316157/t/Ruh-roh-.html#reply-316157

This came up a couple of hours ago, after I got home from work. The only components I have connected to USB is my optical mouse and keyboard... which I found to be non-responsive. After removing them, switching to PS/2 connections and getting control back, I then proceeded to click the message. It recommended I reset the ports. And I did.

The error is still there. My USB ports appear to be all shot... and for some reason I'm getting a DirectSound error, meaning I've got no sound pumping out of my speakers.

I should probably mention that the last thing I did the night before was install the newest version of Direct X. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Psxphile) http://mobiusforum.net/topic/9385 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:19:33 PST
