Senility looming?
-
Well I must admit that I was a bit nervous about cracking the old pc to fit additional RAM, clean up the case fans etc. I hate the thought something woul;d go POP.
So I moped about thinking about the process over and over before finally getting it done. I had the new pc arrive on Wednesday and thought better deal with maintenance before setting it up.
The second case fan was blocking the RAM slots but I eventually got everything done, backmin the case and connected.Started the machine and only one monitor working. No worries thinkls I, got to be something simple after all. I checked every cable over and over but all I got from the second monitor was a standard test signal.
I scratched my head until it went bonk and crashed, had a cup of coffee and went back to work. You know, it is really strange but I realised both ends of the bleeping second monitor cable were different colours. I had left the old monitor cable hooked up at the back of the table and forgot about it until I plugged it into the old pc..Long story short, all well and good checking monitor cables are connected but, make sure there is only ONE cable attached at both ends. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hat:
The new pc? No idea, I cannot get the case open to remove the shipping foam. The new monitor either so I will have to wait until next week so someone can tell me how to get this thing started,

Don’t feel to bad…. I’ve stood plenty of times with a weird cable in each hand wondering where the heck these things go !

Well, I had to laugh, either that or go slightly madder. Just a little reminder that taking things back to basics is a good plan to be implementing when troubleshopoting.
