Over the past couple of years, various pieces of hardware for my PC are slowly dying. The list as it is currently:
One stick of 64 megs SDRAM. It currently only has 32 megs.
Top right corner of monitor has dying pixels, and it is getting progressively worse. It's like images are being burned to it, but leaving the monitor off as much as possible seems to help...somewhat.
Onboard modem - initially broken when I got this machine 4 years ago.
What's worse is that it's soldered and blocking a PCI slot.One PCI slot is shot, and doesn't work with anything.
Unknkown if the AGP slot works or not.
Onboard sound does not work. I tried for two hours to get Windows to find it, and it wasn't able to.
Sound card (takes up PCI slot) has a failing port, as the connector for the speakers is failing. I usually have to twist the connector to get it to sound right. Initially I thought it was the Y-splitter I was using, but plugging the speakers in directly does the same thing as the Y-splitter.
Wow, bigger list than I thought.
The IDE controllers, the processor, the other two sticks of ram, the video card, and the power supply all work fine.
Who else has dying hardware?
We have EVEN MORE themes now, but some old ones are gone...
