I'm taking both of my A+ certification exams tomorrow afternoon.... damn I am nervous :lol:

which exams ?
- cooking, cleaning - :P



only joking with 'ya m8
- best luck m8
- i can remember when i last did my Degree some 9yrs ago (WoW that long ago :unsure: )

hehe, A+ is two parts, core hardware and os technologies, everything you could possibly think of about computer hardware + dos / win3.1 / win9x / a little bit of 2K, the only thing i'm worried about is win 3.1 and a few things on the hardware side, why they put something as old as windows 3.1 on an IT certification I'll never know...

Good Luck faqqer!!

You wont have any problem. Its an adaptive test, so dont shite yourself if you expect 30 questions and only get 24 or so. When I wrote the system booted me on question 24 and I thought I had failed LOL!!

Best of Luck to yah :)

See I have special insight powers.

I hated A+

Good job there, knew ya could do it faqer ;)

Well done bro !! I knew you could make it !! :D

omfg, I think my computer is plotting against me :ph34r:

Aparently it got the wise idea to test me on what I got certified to do today. I was looking at Epox's site and saw a new BIOS for my board and decided to flash. Flash goes ok, but I reboot to nothing. My monitor would get a signal from the video card, then lose it, get one, lose it. I opened the case, powered it on again, and the first thing I noticed was my HDD's light kept coming on and off, then I looked at the cpu fan and it would spin at full speed for about three seconds, slow down, spin, slow, over and over, in sync with the HDD light. I looked at the POST LED thing on the board that gives you read outs of the post code it's on to troubleshoot, and it would get to C1, start over, C1, start over. So I grab my manual, looked at what C1 meant, and to quote the book:

At this point I'm going what in the ****?!? A bios flash killed my ram? :blink: :huh: no way in hell

I pull one stick, does the same thing, change the one in there with the one I just pulled, same thing, one at a time in the other two slots, same thing all the way around. With this board, if you hold down the insert key at boot, it will clear all the cpu and ram timings and set them to fail safe defaults. I tried that, and it's STILL doing the same thing.

At this point I thought I had a dead BIOS and was going to have to RMA my board. I'm sitting here thinking great, less than 8 hours after becoming A+ certified I manage to kill my motherboard, not a good start lmao.

Last ditch effort I set the clear CMOS jumper to 2-3, powered it on for a few seconds, cut it back off, changed it back to 1-2, and it booted fine like nothing had ever happened :lol:

/me looks at my computer and wonders if it's possessed, that's waaaay too big of a coincidence for me :lol: :D

Adam,

I never broke any computer till after I was A+. IMO A+ gives us a cocky attitute LOL.

And congrats to you my very good buddy!

Congrats Sephiroth. I will drink one cold one on your behalf this weekend. Enjoy your success.
