Blackout caused some trouble on the homefront:

Newbie_Doo · 07-04-02, 08:57 AM

Looks like I am down 3 boxen for a short bit. A blackout caused some trouble on the boxes that shared one circuit (including the server with the UPS) and I need to iron it out. Production should be back up fairly soon. I don't think I lost any equipment, but I definitely have some HD corruption on at least two boxes and the server is acting oddly.

I'll keep you posted.

Good luck straightening everything out. Hope nothing is dead. The last time I had a blackout, I had to format and redo

Man that sucked!

sorry to hear about it N_D, hope it is nothing too serious or costly and i hope you will able to get the boxes up without any more problems. good luck!!!

Looks like the carnage also includes the P3-1000EB box. My daughter just informed me that it hasn't worked since the blackout.

I'm too busy to do any repairs right now, so I am limping along with just 4 boxes active. *sigh*

ZeroAquaduct · 07-07-02, 03:25 PM

Sorry to hear that N_D. I hope you get things back to normal soon.

Mr B · 07-07-02, 03:40 PM

Bummer Anthony...hope you get that straightened away.

I just lost a rig myself....my old P/// rig. I'm pretty sure the mobo went south. I can't get it to boot, or even beep, with the P/// 700E or a 500 Katmai. Either the board, or something with the PSU perhaps, but I think likely the board.

Wonder if it has anything to do with the capacitors?? (after reading the article linked to on the front page last week (it's an Abit SH6))

Unfortunately, I don't have another intel board handy to test out the 700E, but can try a different PSU...just haven't done that yet...

That's a pretty big loss. I recently lost a mobo, but it didn't compare to that. Sorry to hear it. Hope you get it figured out and the loss isn't too great.

Newbie_Doo · 07-07-02, 11:22 PM

The bad news is: I may have to repair or replace 4 computers.

The good news is: I may have to repair or replace 4 computers.

When I have some time next week, I need to go shopping on Newegg...

well sounds more bad to me , but i guess this could be a chance to get bigger and better system and have a more prolific farm

keeps us posted on how things go!!

Newbie_Doo · 07-10-02, 11:07 PM

I have managed to get 3 of the 4 boxen running again. Now all I have to do is troubleshoot the P3-1000. It is completely non-responsive. Hopefully it is the PSU. If not, I guess I could put this XP1600 in up there...

PSU was dead on the P3-1000. Replaced it and the 'puter is now doing continuous spontaneous reboots before BIOS does the handoff. Looks like something may be fried. The HDD possibly, or maybe IDE controller. Still ongoing...
