After the last of the upgrades the notebook ran fine for a day or so, then started crashing on me. After some messing around, I ran Disc Check, that found some errors on the disc and repaired them, I then restarted the system and all is well once again.
**Um YEAH! Done? NOT! The TL-62 that I installed was not properly recognized, this caused the computer to continually crash. I did a system restore figuring it would help, NOT!
I reinstalled the TL-52 and after a bit of research, decided to update the BIOS and see what would happen, THAT did the trick! I reinstalled the TL-62 and the system now sees it properly and it is stable. The system is now also completely restored and updated.
Kind of fun playing with this thing, and frustrating as well, but I won in the end!**
Computers, love to hate them! LOL!
At least this toy is all done!
Later all!
Upgrades on this machine in the last four years:
From 2Gb of ram to 4Gb (3.3 Recognized)
From a TL-52 (1.6Gb) Processor to a TL-61 (2.1Gb)
From a 250Gb, 5,400Rpm, 4Mb Cache Hard Drive, to a 320Gb, 7,200Rpm, 16 Mb Cache Drive
At least it is DONE! No more upgrades to do! There is a slightly faster processor, but 200MHz is NOT worth the cost of that processor, not now anyhow!
Later all!
Me!
