    Re: HP DC5000 SFF and D530 SFF (ASUS P4SD motherboard) - polymod

    After reading this post, I think I'm going to try a socket reflow (Heating the socket from underneath of course).
    "We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

      No need to be sorry, that's what this thread is for anyways .

      Interesting, I haven't seen that before. As mentioned a few posts above, I had a problem where it didn't detect the IDE drives or Floppy, but didn't get any one to bootloop. I think only one system came up with garbled text and graphics in the BIOS (as well as BOOT screen), but if I loaded default values without going in BIOS, it would boot. So I ended up updating the BIOS, and that fixed the problem.

      Any suggestions?
      If you done a full recap, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to change these two above as well and see what happens.

      Also, try cleaning the RAM slots (or even washing them if you have time). I don't know if that will help, but maybe worth trying?
