Computer Repair cont.

Well it hasn't been a good few days. As you are already aware, I've been updating the hardware in my computer for the past few days with some bad results. I was attempting to replace my motherboard with a newer and "better" and more up-to-date model of what I was already using. So, I bought an MSI G33M, and frankly, it stinks. Nothing but problems from day one. Windows updates were littered with failures and errors. Even SP1 was not willing to make the trip into the hellhole that is my computer. I'm not sure if it was a compatability issue, or a defect in the board, but every thing I did produced nothing but errors. Now, I know what you're thinking; "But you're installing Vista! No wonder you have errors!"

Well, sorry, but try again. I took out the G33M and went back to my old MSI 945P Neo3 and, guess what? No problems. Vista went in smooth and flawlessly. Programs are getting installed with no errors. Everything is fine. But the question still remains; What the hell was wrong with that G33M?

Whatever the case, that is now two separate devices I purchased, both not working properly. The other was a new Seagate hard drive. Yeah, you guessed it. It did not work. I found it peculiar, almost impossible, that two different components, from two different manufacturers, both failed.

In case you are curious, the Seagate simply didn't want to spin up.

Well, at least I have a machine that runs now... still need a new hard drive though... damnit.
