- came home from work.
- started my workstation.
- realized I had no connection to
guinan(playground server & web/apt proxy & file server). - turned on the monitor: nothing.
- did a hard reset.
guinanbooted, everything seemed to work.- the syslog didn't show anything interesting.
- some minutes later
guinanfroze again. - hard reset again, & I chose memtest86+ from grub.
- during the 7th test strange charcaters showed up in the time column. no reaction to key presses.
- turned the power off. opened the chassis. took out the RAMs. broke the socket of the first RAM slot (only at the side).
- turned the power on. much fan sound, no picture, no network.
- changed the monitor. changed the graphics card. changed the PCI slot for the graphics card. nothing.
- booting with or without RAM, with or without graphics card just produces fan noises, HD noises, nothing more. no beeps e.g.
- closed the chassis, moved
guinanback in position, turned her off.
