I'm back <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" />On one morning (Apr 24th) as i was downloading some files while having a chat with a friend online it started to rain. I ignored it and continued to stay online & lightning struck! My ADSL modem was fried instantly & the PC switched itself off. The power went out. I knew there was no hope for the modem since i could smell the burnt circuit board on it & was waiting till power comes back to check my computer..In the evening, after power came I turned on my PC to find out that it is also not working! <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/baffled.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":baffled:" title="Baffled    :baffled:" data-shortname=":baffled:" /> Next morning I took it to my PC shop & they told me that the motherboard is burnt <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" />  I started my hunt for a replacement <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Searched for full two days & finally found a shop <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /> They said it would be compatible with my Processor (P4 HT 3GHz - 1MB - 800MHz - Socket 478) but when we test it the machine turns itself off in few seconds <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/baffled.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":baffled:" title="Baffled    :baffled:" data-shortname=":baffled:" /> I was worried! They said the Processor is not working!!! <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/growl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":growl:" title="Growl    :growl:" data-shortname=":growl:" /> I checked with many shops & all returned the same results <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/no.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":no:" title="No    :no:" data-shortname=":no:" />I gave up hope & returned it back to my PC shop. The guy working there told me that he is confident that the processor is working & we just need to find the right motherboard. I left home & after two days I got a call from Gayan aiyya (guy in the shop) saying my processor works fine but needed to replace the heat sink & cooling fan. I was so glad <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />Finally I'm back with a new motherboard + modem + cooling fan which cost me nearly Rs.12K(6750 + 3750 + 1200) because I was stupid enough to use the PC in the rain! Luckily i could exchange my old RAMs to DDR2s cause this new board has those & currently I'm using onboard VGA cause I have a AGP card(ATI Radeon 9550 256MB) and this board has PCI Express <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/baffled.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":baffled:" title="Baffled    :baffled:" data-shortname=":baffled:" /> Because of the new cooling equipment my processor is now around 40'C when idle compared to around 55-65'C before.Final piece of advice : NEVER USE YOUR COMPUTER WHEN IT'S RAINING! UN-PLUG PC & TELEPHONE LINE!here is my new board specs. It should be P4M900-M4 not sure why CPU-Z says that.<img src="http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/6705/cpuzmobolv7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />since it's not an INTEL motherboard I could OC it but didn't do much just in case...<img src="http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/6575/cpuzxq0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />actually i have only 768MB left because 256MB is used for VGA <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /> and still this VGA sucks!!!<img src="http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/746/cpuzramtv8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
