bulkchart32 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 i pulled apart my 1.6, cleaned and repasted the the heat sinks, and cleaned and greased the dvd drive. i was cycling the dvd drive trying to get the tray to operate correctly when all of a sudden the system started having weird artifacting on the screen. i turned it off and un plugged it and then plugged it back in and it started frag'ing. what's going on?

Benur75 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hello, did you replace both cpu and gpu thermal paste ? If yes, did you think to warm gpu heatsink in order to remove it ? If yes, did you perfectly clean previous thermal adhesiv paste on the cpu ? If you did everything perfectly, do you use a conductive thermal paste and you could have put too much paste that would have overrun on components ? What is your board revision ? 1.0-1.1 (AT style PSU connector) 1.2-->1.5 ATX connector 1.6 ATX Connector with no ram extension and Xcalibur chipset ? Did you remove the capacitor clock if this is a 1.0 to 1.5 version ? Do you see some caps that seem to be bulged ? Send a photo of the top and bottom of your motherboard. bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I would be checking the caps next to the 20 pin power connector and heatsink and if they look anything like the circled ones replace all of them. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
