I spent months buying parts and even frankensteining parts to upgrade it, I won't go into much detail but I will say that it went from the HD 4870 to a GTX 470, to a GTX 950, to a GTX 960, back to the original GTX 950, and then a new and better GTX 950. Operating System - Windows XP Professional x32 RAM - 4GB (became 2GB) DDR2 PC2-6400 (4x 1GB) Dual-ChannelĬooling- (Air) ULTRA ChillTec Overclocking Cooler I brought it over, we plugged it in, he turned it on and did nothing basically but press the power button and it booted into Windows XP.

Last attempt: take it to a fellow techie friend's house.

Nothing and after 2 days of troubleshooting, resetting the CMOS, and even installing a floppy drive to reflash the BIOS I was about to give up. I tested EVERYTHING, every port, every drive, even new drives. Then the next problem, no SATA drives detected. I went from 4GB of ram to 2GB but got it to post. First power on, BIOS beep codes, figured out it was bad RAM, removed 1 by one until it booted. My quest to bring it back from the dead is why I decided to name it Z0MB1E. I could also see why it had sat so long when I plugged it in and it was dead. When dad first had it, it had an 8800GTX in it, which wasn't what was in it when I found it. I decided then to turn it into a gaming rig because my desktop had died years before and my gaming laptop had aged horribly though the years. Her son used it a very short time I believe but then it just sat for years and years from probably 2010 to when I found it in the summer of 2015. Dad now has an i7 Ivy Bridge System that he had a custom builder online build for him, it has 32GB ram and thats about all I can tell you about it because I really don't know the specs past that.Īnyway he put this system together for his then girlfriend to use, which she never did.

Dad bought an Ultra Aluminus full tower case and a cheap off brand crap 600W PSU and he put these internals into the case, where they have been since. The insides of this system were returned with the new build.

In 2009, my dad had our friend gut the case and put a 790i Ultra board in it (which is now the PC my mom uses, my dad gave it to me and I gave it to her). He had our OEM builder friend build the system.

This PC started out as his 1st in early 2007. He has had 3 essentially gaming PCs to edit photos and video since that time. My dad has been a professional photographer since 2006. Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:ĭouble-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.So I would like to go into the background of my Z0MB1E build. The board has four DIMM sockets and support the following memory features: Here is what was listed on the Intel Site: Will this be a problem down the road or am I being neurotic? What concerns me is that I just discovered that the supported memory voltage for the board is 1.8v - 1.9v and the Patriot memory sticks have 2.2v listed as there voltage. The comp is built and runs fine as far as I can tell. Anyway, I bought the Intel D975XBX2 Motherboard and the Patriot Extreme Performance PC2 6400 dual channel memory sticks. He kind of rushed me through everything, so I didn't get to fully scrutinize everything. I just built a comp for my brother who sat with me and helped me pick out the parts on newegg.
