Dragonsmettle Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hey, i just had a comp crash last week and after talking to tech support for 3 hours found out my hardware was damaged. What would cause damage to hardware? for reference no i dont use my comp to download music/videos and dont go to porn sites. thats why im confused about the whole crash thing, luckly was still under warranty and they sent my a new thing.

It was probably poor wire setup or overheating that caused to RAM slots to overload and crash the system.Of corse I have no expertise in computers so this is all rubbish reasoning.

thetopproducer Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 computer hardware can just mess up. its like a car, somethings are just defective and you can get it repaired just like a car.luckily you were stil under warranty, if your hard drive wasnt the defective part you can keep all your information from tihs computer to the next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everydayshisha Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Thats like saying " I've got a blue car. What brand is it?"The things you said cant really help on deciding what part was damaged. Did you get a blue screen of death? Sudden power-off?Any massages?Most of the times crashes are caused by PSU's and Defective parts like RAM, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayVer Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I could help you out but as everyone else said you need to be more specific. theres ton's of reasons why computer hardware can fail but it depends on what failed. CPU can be heat issues, Fried mobo can be bad PSU or power surge, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New2Hookah Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Some hard rives out there have been known to fail after a short period of time, specifically Hitachi hard drives. Along with the CPU over heating, your North bridge and South bridge are very prone to over heating and causing all sorts of problems. Who knows...

Oni_Dragon Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 yeah, heat is a big issue, also, you could have had bad voltages which could have also caused it... shorted DIMM slots for the RAM could have also caused issues... many things could have possibly cause dit.. music or porn or stuff like that wouldn't have anything to do with hardware problems....(nice avatar btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
