A shiny new day with a shiny new thread and new coffee

Happy Friday GameBoomers!

Good morning Ana, Gerry, Connie, FogFighter and all who follow. We're having incredibly warm temps too Connie, and headed back to the freezer on Sunday. Passed my first post procedure check-up this morning with flying colors...next one in a couple of weeks. Time to enjoy bagels and wide awake double dark brew.

Have a great T.G.I.F. Friday everyone

Wow, our weather has been a real roller coaster, it's 0 F going up to 5 F. I'm tired of winter now, can't wait for the spring flowers to bloom. Have a great day everyone.

Good Friday afternoon. I noticed my daffodils are peeking their little green heads out of the ground! Hope they don't get frozen off.

So I've been wrangling computers. Got my new one last yesterday and just had time to connect to monitor and boot it up... except it didn't. Fans were running, lights were on, but nobody was home... nothing on my screen. I tried a different monitor; I tried a different cable - nothing. I sent a quick email to Mike at ecollegepc just before I left for bowling last night at 6. He responded right away and told me to check the motherboard code when it booted up. ASUS has nice big red code number to help you troubleshoot. Well, my code was 55 - no RAM detected. I asked if it was OK if I just reseated the RAM. I have a huge CPU cooler and was worried about taking that off, but I just had to snap off one of the end fans. Popped the RAM, reseated it, replaced the cooler fan and TA DA! Success! So, when I recommend ecollegepc because of their customer service, this is why. They can all make mistakes, but it's how they handle them that makes the difference.

Glad you're up and running Drac. I agree with your last sentence but for myself, I probably would have had to return the whole unit or take it to Best Buy.

Yes, for sure, it helped that I was familiar with the interior workings of a computer. I don't know how they help those who don't know their way around inside. Probably return the unit.

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

Soot that is good to hear everything is going well! Draclvr glad you got your new computer up and running!

We had some mixed precip yesterday...icy mix that coated the roads and driveways. it has started snowing now so all that ice is going to be under the snow making for treacherous walking. I am cat sitting this week so hopefully as the day warms up...temps are supposed to get into the 40s...I will not have an issue going to care for my neighbor's cat.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Gerry be safe taking care of the cat. Shopping is on the agenda today. Karaoke at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.
