So a few days ago I bought an internal network card, after installing it Windows failed to pick it up, after this I tried it on my brother’s PC and it worked just fine. To be sure I swapped it with another card of the same model and tried again, same result.
This led to the conclusion that my motherboard was broken, and as I really wanted to get rid of the horror that is USB WiFi sticks I decided to buy a new one.
With this purchase I would need new DDR3 Internal Memory (As my old motherboard only supported DDR2), and my case was also pretty busted so I replaced that too, a quick list of the new shinies acquired:
- Gigabyte GA-790XTA-UD4
- Antec Nine Hundred Two
- 2x2GB DDR3 1333Mhz (Forgot brand/type)
So after this I had to reinstall Windows because it doesn’t like when you suddenly give it a new motherboard. That’s all done again, I’m slowly but surely installing all my software again but the most important things are installed again (EVE and my Dev Tools).
Well that’s it for this post.
