this really sucks. i started having weird computer problems last week. TF2 was unplayable, was all choppy and invisible people. so i defrag my drives and update all my drivers along with my bios.

I install the wrong bios on accident and my computer will not turn on since, it would start than spin the fans for 15 seconds than turn off. like a moron i forgot to unplug the computer while i went to buy a new motherboard and have dinner for 5 hours. well the 5 hours of powering on and off fried the cpu, it fried it so bad that when i put it in my new motherboard it instantly fried the board.

so i went out and bought a new quad core, came home and tried it on the fried motherboard and it instantly fried the new cpu. so right than i wasnt aware that the new cpu got fried, rather the motherboard was fried and i just need a new one and the cpu is fine.

nope... i get yet another motherboard and fry that one with the bad cpu. so now i am going to the store and getting a new cpu and motherboard at the same time. hopefully my dumb self can do it, i been jonesing for tf2 so bad its making me mean all day.

both the cpu's were Quad Cores and all the motherboards were Asus
 
Words fail me...

...lol.

Sorry, that was rude. But seriously, wow, what a trail of carnage.
 
i want to so bad, i have been playing TF2 on my PS3 and it is the suck! cant play on normal servers
 
That's some serious damage right there!

How much money have you spent so far?
 
I haven't the words to express how much I feel for you. I remember, about seven years ago, buying a whole bunch of parts off of the internet to build a monster rig. They all arrived and were perfectly functional, but I made a tiny mistake when putting it all together, and fried the RAM, the mobo, and the CPU. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper.
 
I'm not even going to ask how much money you spent, I'm just going to mourn the loss of those quad cores.
 
I'm just going to throw this out there... are you sure you don't have a bad power supply? I've seen cases where a bad PS (or undervoltage PS) can cause weird graphics problems. With all of the trouble that you've had, it might be worth it to pull out a multimeter and check your voltages.

Otherwise, I'm sorry about your loss. If it makes you feel any better, I finally tested my old All-in-Wonder Radeon 9800 Pro last night and found out that I did indeed kill it a few months ago. (Cooling fan wasn't spinning up and I didn't notice it until I smelled the magic smoke from the other end of the house.) Now, I need a new capture card for my video capture PC...
 
Wow, this is a very sad tale strewn with the corpses of many high quality hardware items. I think I'm going to cry. Okay, not really, but I do wish you luck solving the problem. That really stinks.
 
Jebus man...sorry for your losses >< but keep your head up high...and then listen to the greatest songs of the 80s such as Gold by Spandau Ballet and then you'll feel incredible ^^
 
Oh DeeZ, my apologies, i've gone through a fried motherboard... just want you to know: it's OK to cry my friend, it's OK.
 
Sorry to hear that DeeZ.... Hardware problems suck. =(
When you get your machine back up if you are still having those choppy problems, I was having similar issues and Lafinass helped me adjust some cl_ settings which fixed the problems on my end. Hope you get back online soon.
