yep i popped it off.

[SayWhaa?]

yes i do. i had to get smart for a second and pop the lil blue cover off of them but i found the 3 pins. now what? u have AIM?

take the jumper off and just put it on the other side, still using the middle pin i believe, plug it in turn the comp on and let it run for a couple sec's than turn it off and move the jumpers back...

make sure your grounded.

[HonkeyDong]

you don't even have to turn the computer on actually, but yes do what he said.

[SayWhaa?]

ah i always turned my comp on, damn if i knew i didnt have to turn it on that could of saved me some time..

like i said make sure your grounded, ive had some dumb friends just open the shit up and touch at shit and i hear that ol zap of death

[Kouki Crisp]

how can i make sure im grounded? i have the computer sitting on the table like so:

[SayWhaa?]

touch your case with 1 hand, than touch something else that is metal such as a light fixture or a screw thats screwing in your light switch, if your on carpet move to tile

amd's where the way to go until intel came out with the core 2 chip. if your going to build a new system get a intel. get a 8800 gt 512 meg card for around 150 bucks.

as far as AMD frying alot. i've never seen one fry. been building systems with them, for me and my friends for 8 years. but the last system i build was a intel system. they wanted amd but i told them to get a intel core2 quad.

only reason that chip is fried is because the paste shorted it out. you see all the paste all over the legs of the small chips. also the paste connecting the other small chips together.

Ok so here is what im looking at. the blue "Jumper" on the top is going to be moved over to the left (on the left 2 pins) for a duration of say...? 10 seconds? the taking it BACK OFF and replacing it on the right 2 pins. end of reset? correct?

Touch your case for a few seconds, hold the case while you touch the instead. Those both should work fine.

Edit: f2b ftw

[SayWhaa?]

correct just move it to the left pin than move it back to the right one.

Once you switch the jumpers, fire it up as you would normally.
