When getting a new PC sucks...

Post by Cristian »

I just (well, actually two weeks ago) got myself a full upgrade.
MB: K8M800 Micro AM2
Proc: AMD Sempron LE1150
RAM: Zeppelin
HD: Western Digital (SATA) 80 GB (can't remember model)
I kept the video card, an "old" 5200 FX (AGP).

Well, now the fun part started. I installed windows and, first thing it greted me with a crash! (Yes one of them cryptic "00x0acd8557" like crashes). Rebooted. Bad sign. Next, .NET framework won't install. :D OH JOY!
After much consideration (and kicks :lol:) it did.
Next up was the JDK. It took me a whole day to get it on without issues. Xilinx 9.2i ISE and Multisim 9 were next (college stuff). Guess what, they both fucked.

When I complie something about 1/50 times, the compiler crashes in some way (either mingw or msvc). The funniest part was when I found out today, It wont do pixel shading anymore. AT ALL.

It just keeps getting better...

I think I'll just go back to the trusty Duron 1300 for a while, eh?

Thanks for the advice. I know the problem resides in the RAM. It's either the DIMM or the MB itself.
