Now installing 64 security updates since SP3. 112 mb that’s being downloaded. Folks on dialup haven’t a chance… 🙁

pick one up from over there when I go. Along with a few other odds and ends that I need if I’m gonna be fixing stuff again.

Have to get another Intel based machine up to check the processor. As I need to get a load of pegboard from the storage trailer will

Not sure about the processor, ram and assorted drives. Got to get my test machine moved in here to check ram and drives.

Virus infected machine getting updated windows installed now. eMachine tis dead. 6 caps on motherboard and 2 in power supply bad.

that I have found on the web. Next up is to try a recovery from a windows disk. Which I am gonna have to beg a friend for.

Well tis morning and the winblows machine is still dead. Have found and tried a good power supply and done several other things

Temps: Highs – Outside 70.7 Inside 71.6
Lows – Outside 45.5 Inside 58.1
Current – Outside 48.7 Inside 69.8

Love the multiple problem machines. 🙁

Also has high 5v and low 12 v lines. Gonna turn it off till the am and see if I can find a good power supply then to try it with.

Thinking the virii infested machine also has a bad power supply. Took a while to show up but now will not reboot after XP SP2.

Guess I can try another power supply and see if it will come up at all. If so can replace the MB caps and hope. Not sure it’s worth it.

The other machine is an eMachine with a pile of blowed up caps on the mother board. Which also means that the power supply is toast.

Windows SP2 getting installed now. Am amazed that the machine still runs!

Seems to be running a lot better. Am doing the winblows updates now. After they are all done will run some of the antivirus stuff again.
