Quick one, I have a tyan tiger mp s2460, bought in november 2001.
Memory is Crucial registered ECC 256mb chips (4 of), one in each slot
power supply is a 500w affair,
I have cooling fans one each of the 2 AMD 1.2GB MP chips, and front
and rear of the case.
2 creative sound cards, audigy 2's, creative CD writer, and creative
DVD player, 2 floppy drives and a Maxtor 60GB hard drive 7200 rpm.
Parhelia-512 256MB AGP Dual DVI video card.
Now over the last year, starting at slot 4, one of the memory chips
has blown every three months, in order 4, 3, 2, the last one has just
blown, I have sent them back to crucial for replacement.
BTW The reason I didn't flash the bios is because I couldn't, to flash
the BIOS I would have to remove the operating system, WIN2000, as I
can't get to the prompt screen with it on, and I havn't had the time
to do it. SO it stayed as it was.
Now the issue, when this new memory arrives is it likely to work in
the board, as this is a very strange problem.
Can't contact the original distributor of the board as it's dabs.com
and the board is only covered by a one year warranty, so what's
happening, has anybody else heard about this? Do I need to replace the
board? and most importantly, why has it happened, will it happen
again? and finally, if this is a board fault shouldn't I get a new one
;-) ?
