My main fs2004 PC blow up !!!!!!!!!
Hi,
(I don't know if I should of put blew up or if blow up is OK. Depends on how you read it)
Well things are just getting worse all the time.
Maybe someone can tell me if this has happened to them. I noitced last week that my main fs2004 server, while doing a flight, all of a sudden started making this humming type sound coming from the speakers. Everything froze on it and the clients. I had to reboot everything. Today it made that noise again, but this time when I shut it down and rebooted, no picture came up on the monitor. I did check the monitor and it does work.
Did the graphics card, which is an ATI Radon 9800 from about 4 years ago, blow? Or can it be the motherboard itself and making the picture not appear? I did notice that when I was turning on the power to the PCs, this server which is one of these big, clear case ones, would light up a blue light from somewhere in there, for just a second or two, then go out. As though it was saying power is on. Now, after this blow up today, I do not see that light coming on when I add power to the unit (not booting up but just turning on the wall power to the PCs).
Thanks
Randy :(
