      Mi-am notat si promit sa fac, dar nu mai am momentan nici macar un singur desktop in casa, cu bios de tipul vechi, pe care sa il fac. Promit, cu prima ocazie, cand ajung la un cunoscut care are asa ceva sa il filmez si il pun pe YT :)

    Safest way is to change only one thing at a time. Like that you upgraded Bios first. I wouldn’t have done memory and processor at same time. That way if there is a problem, you know which one. Glad it worked for you. I have a 755, but it is mini-tower. It has a slot for graphics card but when I put in NVIDIA gt720, it would work for a while but eventually scramble the screen and need to reboot. Had to revert to on-board graphics.

      @@UltimateDIY Hmmm. I didn’t consider that possibility. We go with what works. Maybe if I had used the same graphics card you did, it would be fine. Someday I’ll try that card in another PC and that will tell me whether the card was bad.

    Hello good morning afternoon or night
    I would like to know where you buy your ram memories from this video
    I am interested since I have an equal computer equipment and there are no correct memories
    Or if you know the subject, can you tell me where the correct ones for the PC are sold.
    Cheers.....

      @UltimateDIY  Рік тому

      The tray will eject as long as the drive has power. But if it does not show up in My Computer the unit is either defective or the data connection has a problem.

      Try to make a bootable drive with yumi and load a free dos version on that drive. Then copy the bios update files also on the drive and run the executable under the ms dos enviroment.

    • @UltimateDIY

      For the same price you will not be able to buy anything better than it, so there is no chance of i5s, maybe an i3 from the first generation if you are lucky.
      You have a few issues there:
      1. Not enough ram. You need a minimum of 2 GB to run anything above XP. And when I say run, I mean run it normally, nu just power the computer on with it.
      2. A 3GHz CPU would give you about 25% more processing power.
      3. Smaller and older hard drives are really slow. A 500GB hard drive or, even better, a SSD would give you a huge boost in loading times.
      4. Old GPUs are unable to run 1080p without a lot of CPU help and you need a C2D at about 3GHz to be able to play the video right just with CPU power.

    The ethernet connectors on these fail often. I don't know why.
    The limit in ram is 4gb ddr2 total.
    The front and rear fans fail also.
    These are just terrible machines , they either work or don't. They're not worth spending over $20 to repair. The fans probably are over $20 now. The fan under the hdd is a problem too.
