The Computer Blues

I just bought a motherboard over the weekend, installed it maxed out all the ports and thought it would work as a good computer. The downfall came after putting both hard drives on the primary IDE channel (master and slave) and both CD Roms (master and slave) on the second IDE channel. The BIOS or CMOS didn't recognised the slave hard drive or the slave CD Roms on either channel.

This would be the 2nd bad motherboard that I have bought.... :-(

I like computer stores and working and building on computers, however the service techs have less information on the other used motherboards and most of them didn't come with drivers for the motherboard and they wanted money ($40) for the motherboards that didn't come with drivers. I think that most used computer shops should have the motherboard drivers on a burned CD. I also think that used computer shops should test their products thoroughly before it leaves the store, at least I have one old running relic, (Shuttle-Spacewalker:: AMD-K6-2-500) that I bought in 1999, it might be slow and 10 years old it is the most reliable old motherboard overall, with a few glitches that pop up now and then.

Till the Next Post....
