Hardware Forum / Motherboards / ASUS / May 2007Artificial Lifeform took over control of Skybuck's Dream PC for 2006 !
Hello, The weirdest thing just happened: I was hosting a civilization 3 conquest game. I went away to go prepare for dinner. I came back and the computer frooze, it was hanging so it seemed. The mouse did not respond. I have seen this freezing before so I thought no big deal, must be a bug again. So I reset the system. The bios/boot screen does not come up, the computer is hanging and doesn't boot. Ok now I get a bit a worried... I think hmm... must be a bug again... I am using a beta bios afterall... So I reset the computer again. But this time it again does not boot and hangs again. No input signal for monitor. I am getting a little bit more worried. I am thinking ok, the bios must be hanging... I'll just turn off the power and then everything must have been reset and it will be ok. So I hold the power button for x seconds and the power goes off... I think to myself ok no problem... so I wait a few seconds... turn on the power again. And all fans spinning at full speed and the computer is still not booting... no boot screen... no input signal... no nothing. Ok now I am getting really worried... I repeat the resets and reboots/power off stuff... and no nothing. I amazed... I am thinking oh my god... my computer is only one year old... and already died ? f.ck.... what am I gonna do now.. (Oh my god as I write this a gigant spider on the wall... I am being invaded by all kinds of creatures at the moment/this day... gotta kill it :) god damn, that was one messy nasty spider big sh.t on wall... spider must have been attracted by all the light I had one a while ago at night inspecting my pc oh well, on with the story... after I cleanup the mess on the wall :) ok mess cleaned up while it was fresh even if it wasn't easy to clean up spider blood/stuff :) ) Anyway on with the story... I was like shittttt... now I first of all gotta bitch on the internet/usenet... and second of all how do I find out what died ? could be cpu or motherboard or even something else... I was thinking: Maybe hackers killed my bios.... I saw somebody just a few days ago that told me such a story once... scare stuff... the coincidence BAD ! Anyway.... I thought maybe the power surge damaged something... or bad capacitators... or maybe heat... all kinds of possibilities. So I decided I was way to hungy to care now... I decided to go eat first and such. Then I walked back to the computer for another inspection... and I saw the cable modem light was burning... the orange light... it was blinking, meaning it was sending and receiving stuff... I was like that's odd... I was like wtf... that's almost impossible... my computer is off... how can their be activity ? Only the internet provider can make activity on the cable modem while it's off so I thought... Then I knew this is strange.... So I look at the back of the computer... and the network plug light/led is blinking !!! I am like WTF ?! How can my light/led be blinking while the pc is off ?!?!?!?! I am thinking... oh-oh... something must have taken control of the network chip... I am like shiiitt... no way motherf..kers !!! NOBODY takes control of my PC !!! NO SIR BOB !!!!! So I immediatly PULL THE PLUG !!! And bam... no more network activity. That was scary sh.t... Ofcourse it was probably just a bug which made my network chip go haywire.. But then again... there is a small.... realllly small possiblity... the network corruption accidently created an artificial lifeform... that found a hole/bug in the network chip... and got executed by the network chip... and started spreading itself across the internet. So who knows what the thruth is.... the thruth could be... that now an artificial lifeform is spreading itself across the world... it might have found other network chips that it can infect... if so... more and more people will start seeing their computers freeeezzee... else it will just die out. So the terminator 2 scenerio is pretty realistic so I believe. Let that be a warning to future people ! Be ware of the internet and the network chips and any other chips or software... life could spontanously occur... f.cking you over big time !!!! =D So therefore the sentianolistical topic... =D I don't care what you believe, if you don't like then you can go f.ck yourself ! YEAH that's right.. I however found it an interesting and amazing experience... which got my fantasy going... and was pretty scary... So there you have folks... BEWAREEEE ;) Fortunately... now my computer is working again... I knew it would work again... as soon as I pulled the plug... So far ASUS RULES yeaaaaahhhh and NVIDIA tooo yeaaaaahhh and AMD tooo yeaaaah. MY PC STILL WORKING WIEEEEEEEEEEEEE YEAH. DEATH TO ARTIFICIAL LIFEFORMS nigga's that take over my computer/controls !!!! ;;;;;;;;;:P******** Bye, Skybuck. > So I look at the back of the computer... and the network plug light/led is > blinking !!! > > I am like WTF ?! How can my light/led be blinking while the pc is off > ?!?!?!?! Because it's not off. The standby 5V can supply up to 2 amps IIRC.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Graham I've never used it but I think most PC LAN hardware has the "wake on lan" feature... For that to work, the NIC card or LAN hardware cannot be dead. So the NIC card is still alive and blinking when the computer is in standby..or maybe it works too with the computer totally off too (plugged in)....dunno..

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > standby..or maybe it works too with the computer totally off too > (plugged in)....dunno.. I just checked a 400W ATX psu I have kicking around. The 5V standby on that is good for 2.5 A. It powers stuff like any LAN cards and also the keyboard for wake-up / power-on. Sadly there doesn't seem to be any reliable standard for the keyboard power keys so my current one only powers off - not on !

I've seen LAN adapters' LED light up even when the computer's off! Apparently, in those cases, it just indicates "there's something plugged in here". Cheers!

I'm with you Folk. There was a little entertainment value to it, but the weird factor got to be too high. rabbits... wrote: >> So I look at the back of the computer... and the >> network plug light/led is blinking !!! [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > The standby 5V can supply up to 2 amps IIRC. Right. I have several comments. It's not unusual for some computers to become "stuck" in such a fashion that a full-fledged power cycle is required. If you have an older PC power supply with an honest ON/OFF switch on the back you can cycle that switch, otherwise you'll have to pull the cord. Second, I've observed that lots of ethernet-enabled devices keep their interface running, including the activity LEDs, when the power is officially turned off, and you'd imagine the machine is in fact OFF. Some examples are network printers, laptop computers, etc. They may be capable of running certain "wake-on-network" commands, etc. Who can say, they didn't tell us. No doubt some type of subterfuge is involved. :-) Go back on your meds!!!! Quick or they'll really get you peter > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 136 lines] > Bye, > Skybuck. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 135 lines] > Bye, > Skybuck. The cause is that black van with tinted windows parked out the front of your place, take a look. If the van has disappeared then they are almost certainly in the place next door to you. Go knock on the door and find out, just make sure you don't stare into any red lights. I'd recommend you wear a tin-foil hat for protection in the future.

Can I have a hit of whatever it is you're taking? Sounds like fun! Thanks!

Rich Hmm happened again just yet. Some more possibilities: 1. Denial of service attack against beta bios, or network chip. 2. Internet Explorer IE 7 freezes system if only 8 MB of temporarely space/setting. (I have increased it to 100 MB just in case ;)) Bye, Bye, Skybuck. > Hmm happened again just yet. > > Some more possibilities: > > 1. Denial of service attack against beta bios, or network chip. Oh right, sure ! You're an idiot ! If you're going to run a beta version of a bios, then expect problems ! Graham > Hmm happened again just yet. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > (I have increased it to 100 MB just in case ;)) Moronbuck so look event viewer see what it says. >> Hmm happened again just yet. >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Moronbuck so look event viewer see what it says. I did that you retard, now I regret it. I deleted some drivers which were reported not being loaded, incompatible it said. Now deamon tools and the dvd drive don't work anymore ! Last time I follow your advice you turd :) Only a retard like you can appreciate the retardedness of the event log: 1. Retarded Software that uses the Retarded Event Log doesn't warn when something suppossedly "bad" happens ! retarded. 2. One has to figure out much later what happened at the time, travelling backwards in time ! retarded. 3. Event log is cryptic ! retarded. 4. Event log is misleading ! retarded. Retarded, retarded, retarded and retarded =D Bye, Skybuck. LOL, Never mind, you piece of retard :) I fixed the problems and I fixed even more problems ! =D And noooooowww YOU *can* GO f.ck YOURSELF ! :P* =D Wieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Byyyyeee, Byyyeee, Skybuck. Quite an interesting experience I must say :P*********:P*:*P*:P*:P**:*P*P*P*P*:*P*:*P*:P************* =D > LOL, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > =D Oh dear now he's talking to himself.
