Aah, this sucks.

June 8th, 2003, 05:12 PM

I just set up my brand new computer that I ordered. And it's dead already. I was installing quake so I could try out tenebrae. I heard a *klunk* & that was it.

the end

June 8th, 2003, 05:13 PM

Uh... That's not good. Can you easily get a replacement?

June 8th, 2003, 05:25 PM

I don't know.

June 8th, 2003, 05:30 PM

Geez that really sucks Deathgiver.

What the hell happened to it?

Ugh. Does it turn on at all, or just halt during boot-up.

June 8th, 2003, 06:08 PM

ToXiCFLUFF, the power light doesn't even come on.

Doom_Dude, that's a mystery to me as well

June 8th, 2003, 06:21 PM

If its brand new shouldnt you be able to get a warrantee replacement? complain your ass off to them.. unless you built it yourself from part new and part secondhand like me your fucked

June 8th, 2003, 06:58 PM

Whose the company that made it? I'll laugh my ass off if it's Dell.

------------------

June 8th, 2003, 07:45 PM

Felix, no I didn't build it. It was fresh out of the factory.

HyperFlash, nope not Dell. It was Cyberpower Inc. it was a customised "Titanium Gamer Force Pro".

June 8th, 2003, 07:56 PM

Hmm, that's odd. Usually these computers come with a warranty, like Felix said. You should be able to get it fixed.

You sure it isn't something else? Just the computer that stopped working?

June 8th, 2003, 08:08 PM

"You sure it isn't something else? Just the computer that stopped working?"

It was plugged into a "powerstrip" (a surge-protected six outlet thingie) with my monitor & the 5.1 speaker system that I bought with the computer, the strip didn't trip & both the monitor & speaker's power lights work.. yes I'm sure it's the computer.

And I checked, It is under warrenty.

Man. I hope this was a just a fluke.

June 8th, 2003, 08:09 PM

I would get on thier case big time about this.

Maybe the power supply went tits up.

Surely I didn't overstress the Power-supply it's a 420W version.

June 8th, 2003, 08:40 PM

Likely just a defective one.

Sucks d00d. One of my computers just died too. Maybe it's about time I bought a new one. Both of mine are just soooooo old.

"Both of mine are just soooooo old."

Do you mind if I ask, What are their specs?

June 8th, 2003, 10:50 PM

Old, huh?

I know what you mean. I've got a computer that has a 486 processor.

June 8th, 2003, 11:27 PM

Meh, I gotta laptop from the 80's. 8086 processor at 8Mhz, 640k RAM and probably a 20MB HD or something. Blue-green LCD too.
