Title: Spa round postponed
Post by: Wally on June 27, 2016, 08:28:31 PM
I've broken my motherboard, I think. I dropped the video card slightly and it seems to have chipped a circuit on the board.  It won't turn on now (well, it powers on, fans power up, but then it shuts down after a couple of seconds). I reckon I have to replace my mobo.

As a result, I'll have to postpone the Spa round until the following Tuesday.

That sucks Wally. Not that the round is postponed, but the mobo damage.
I hope you can get your pute running again cheaply and painlessly.

Thats a bummer Wally did you upgrade your GPU or were you just doing something with the old one, Is your MB fairly recent and so you can get a similar replacement without needing to worry about ram etc?

I can put a fun run up tomorrow night if needed

Would people consider running these cars at Nords a fun run like I would. :) Or we can run anything, maybe an mx5 cup race somewhere as kind of a pre season test for the next one.

I was putting a gtx 980 in and it slipped out of my fingers a bit and dropped onto the mobo.  If I can still find stock, I can get a mobo for about $80 (it's getting on a bit).

I know. It should have been a simple matter of "take old card out, put new card in".  These new cards are nearly heavier than the power supply!

Phil just pick a combo and hope we get a few in for a bit of racing. Will be a good way for people to test the new plp to ensure it all works fine but it was for me so should be all good. I ran some races after midnight last night and it started to spam the chat box again so worked as intended.

I would prefer an official track especially if you want a few more to turn up. Or one of the very good scratch made mod tracks not an old dodgy rip (maybe keep those for rip mod thursdays😆) but best to stick to official I would suggest.

Thanks guys. I'm picking up a new mobo tomorrow.

Good to hear you managed to find a new Mobo Wally, Phil is there any reason the server is setup for only 20 cars. That track has a limit of 24, I dont know how many will turn up but you never know there may be a few come out of the woodwork possibly.

What is the race format going to be, I see the race server is set for 25 lap race, I dont mind this but maybe people would rather 2 or 3 shorter races instead of 1 longer 1.

I only pay for 20 slots for thursdays, if you think we will get more i can make it 24 slot easy

Seems the fun runs never get too many, a few only turn up when the big bucks are up for grabs it seems. :) If we ever need a fun run with more slots I can run on mine as there is no limit except the server could crap itself if its overloaded but it can handle a couple servers full without issues.

Was a bit of fun though I had major brain farts using the wrong lights the first 2 races, was fun trying to get through the field from the back but good to see that even with a small field that wasnt possible.
