I saw this bad boy on its way to the Ford Performance School on my way home tonight. It is a GT350. Wish I could have talked to the guy driving the F150 to ask details. The story goes that these get delivered to Larry H. Miller Ford, and then trucked out to Utah Motorsports Park (formerly Miller Motorsports Park). Larry H. Miller started the track, but his family sold it after he passed away.

 

Nice. I want one.

 

Nice 350 there White. I'd drive it. Of course, you know I like Mustangs too.

Bear, thank you so much. I'm sure that I'm going to really like it. I appreciate you thinking of me.

 

Oh I hear yuh, retiring in less than a year now, getting out at 55, both because I can and have plenty to keep me busy lol. So, I have to do it just one more time. But hell, things change daily around here, can be drastic and not make any sense. This last move, I have no idea at the moment. Dang woman, threw a wrench in the works. And I thought settling on a truck to purchase was difficult....man, not too long long ago , that was the only thing on the plate it seems. Well that and choosing a puppy anyway. Been very fortunate with dogs in the past, -when I didn't worry about finding a good one lol. I don't know if it's thinking of another too much or just getting older that seemed to heighten decision paranoia. Niether made it any easier...at this point anyway. Learning the Limbo lol.
Ditto white! Jeezz, small world for sure. But yea exactly, but when I lost the monitors on the DT, they all went out and wouldn't come back without a re-boot.. Did everything you posted, par for the course when there's a problem that could be hardware. Finally stuck just one W7 backup SSD into the machine and booted up. Same thing. Another monitor...same thing. Screen goes black. It use to take awhile to occur and now it's occurring much more frequently. This is why I think it has something to do with the link you posted. This is an ASUS M4A77TD MB, AMD x4 machine, problem occurring with the EN9600 GSO CARD.
The problem occurred after pulling a SATA storage drive. This drive was a dedicated photo drive. The drive began to fire up out of the blue stealing processor power. I shut the machine down, it's elevated above the carpet, pulled the drive then fired it back up. What I didn't do is disconnect the power cord. Static shock to the case shouldn't cause any issues...none. The first thing I do is charge the housing with residual static before opening....it's automatic, done it so much lol. Thought perhaps I didn't get it all iduno lol. Anyway, I haven't worked on it anymore, it's down.
Hey, some have a knack pulling brilliant ideas out of their.... -I agreed to travel there and back for a wiff of the life. We grow tired of the many pushy angry people on the roads, at the supermarket, just about everywhere you go round here. You look the other way, but there it is again. It's just an ugliness that has us looking for an out.
That cool , -sports, watching the Grand kids go at it is a blast. Pitching tho, that's big, bet he was excited. Same here, mines a little younger ,soccer has been his game, my daughter coached this year, her first year coaching solo. Played the final last week. Man, some of those kids can move, all fun to watch. Parents really get involved, hilarious as well lol.

LOL, -Fish yes. Greek, not sure. Do they use Windex for that as well? Aristotle lol, special occasion only...when fishing alone. Outside of that, yea, too many Greek tragedy's on the books as it is.., wouldn't want to end up in one.

 

Brew, this thing is an oldie. I built it well, and it still keeps plugging along. It's a Windows 7 Pro 64bit box, and it's running on 8GB of RAM. I have an ASUS GeForce 210 1GB DDR3 card in it. The board is an old ASUS M4A785-M Motherboard with an AMD Athlon II X2 215 processor. It is mainly just a download box and file server anymore. So, plenty of juice for that. Oh... speaking of juice, it's got a 500W power supply in it too. It's got 7.5 TB storage total in it right now. The OS runs off of a 250GB SSD, and everything else is mechanical.

Like I say, it's old, but it really does do a great job still. My Laptop is an Intel i5 with 16GB ram, and a 1TB HDD. It has Windows 10 Pro 64bit. My desktop at work is a lightning fast customer though. It's an Intel i7 on Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit, and it has 12GB ram. It's what I am using to write code, etc. Smokes my Surface!

 

I built this one 08, 512MD3/V2/A on the card, 16GB on the board. I guess I forgot to ask, -did you fix it ? Same problem here, still down. Worth saving, purchase a new card perhaps? Haven't made up my mind. It's been a solid 64bit machine. Has a 500W PS as well. Damn , did we build these machines at the same time lol. But yea, they sure do smoke. Beats your SP? Well mine does with SSD's. The mechanical drives will slow it down some, but only use those for storage and backup anymore.

 

I recall when I first built the machine, I was quick booting, skipping boot screens. Went with it for awhile, like a month. During that time and didn't realize I was only running 2 cores. I wasn't made aware that you had to initialize the 4 cores to activate. It was still fast. I only realized it when screwing around with boot sequence one day and the core screen came up as 2 active. Once initialized, it whipped through multi task, rendering. Perhaps I'll price a new card for it. It's the quietest box I've owned by far, set up with Zalman cooling for both vid and mb.

Looking through the mobo book that came with, finding old notes lol. The DVD perfectly preserved (original rev 636.01) 770/SB710 chipset. Man I haven't seen this stuff in a long time lol.

 

This is my invoice number and date when I ordered it all from Tiger. Yeah, we weren't too far off in building these two machines we've got. I'm retarded, or just tired as hell... what is SP? LOL. The fastest thing I run is my Chromebook. That little thing flies! Runs circles around my PC, Laptop, Surface...

 

Do you guys ever wonder why these guys come on here with the "my mechanic said _______" stories and questions? If you have a mechanic you trust, why the eff are you on here asking questions? I don't have a mechanic I trust, personally. I have never had good experiences taking my vehicles elsewhere. Case in point: my A/C that I just had to fix after I paid to have it done, not even 2 years ago.

 

Yep... why you bugging us if you're just gunna tell us we're wrong cz your mechanic is right or just have the mechanic fix it cz you don't work on vehicles.

That's why I gave the guy things to test on his fuel pump himself. If he does the tests himself I'll continue on helping... if he doesn't, or has his mechanic... then I'll just let the mechanic do all the work for the guy.

Yeah I don't take my vehicle to a shop unless it's something completely out of my wheelhouse ... but I still try to learn and do it myself before calling it quits and taking it to a shop. I have a local off-road shop I trust for some work and then a dealership my dad and I have a good reputation with the head mechanic and if we bring it in he's the only one that works on it. He's been around the ford shop for 30years and has taught us a thing or two and has saved us money countless times by telling us things we can fix ourselves or where to get certain parts for cheap.
