SwimModSponges Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 After over a month of downtime. Indinite boot loop was unfixable as i had feared, so total loss on the hard drive. But, since it was empty anyways, seemed like a good enough time to upgrade. Parts should be arriving tomorrow, along with a copy of shadow of war for my birthday. Woohoo.

The infinite boot loop is always unfixable. Were you able to recover files off of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. MrsGirlfriend Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Samsung 850 EVO 500gb ssd, 4gb RAM stick to replace the damaged one that caused the infinite looping. Also Shadow of War should be all installed and ready to go. Conned my IT Tech cousin into getting it all pretty for him again, all I had to do was order parts. Happy birthday/anniversary Sponges.

SwimModSponges Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Well, looks like we still need a cable and a bracket to get everything up and running, and the only places in town who have what we need are closed today. So tomorrow then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sieg67 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 SATA cable? Best Buy sales them. I've built computers without cases. You can probably run it without a bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
