I got a i7 Machine from a friend several months ago. Because I didn't know how old the Thermal Paste was on the CPU, I decided to remove the Heatsink, Clean up the CPU and Heatsink of the old Thermal Paste and apply NEW. Well it appeared that the CPU Socket had some issues of pins being raised above the other causing some issues. The PC never turned on nor booted into Windows. So this PC has been sitting for now, I'll have to do some Extensive work on it to try and reflow the solder on the CPU Socket to level these pins out to hopefully make contact with the motherboard and CPU.
Then another friend give me a PC to use as my "Stream Machine". It had an OLD AMD CPU in it, So decided to buy a Ryzen 5 4500 CPU to go in it, to update it with a 6 Core CPU. So I Install the CPU, Try booting up the system. Didn't get no Video, Turns out I had to Update the BIOS to accept the NEW CPU. So put the OLD CPU back in, it booted just fine, So downloaded and updated the BIOS to accept the NEW CPU I got, Took out the OLD CPU and Installed the NEW CPU and it worked fine.
Got OBS installed and a few other things on it I needed to use to Stream. Recording of videos and streaming trial run worked great, NO Issues with Rendering Lag or anything. But I did have a problem with Audio, there were no Audio Playback on the machine including mic recording so downloaded the audio drivers and updated those. I got a Blue Screen after rebooting. And the system fucked up from the update. Got no video, got no audio, got NOTHING.
So toyed around with the machine for a few days, then took a few days off, Still having issues with this machine. I've came to the conclusion that my Motherboard Fried somehow.
So fastfoward to yesterday, I purchased another Motherboard and a GPU (Video Card), I'll be salvaging Parts from both machines to get it up and running, this'll save money on having to buy NEW Memory and HDD (Hard Drives) for the Stream Machine right now. The memory from the i7 is the right size and speed and will work fine and the NEW CPU I put in the AMD Board will work fine.
So, Now once the parts come in, I just have to build the Machine, get it up and running and hopefully by the end of the week I'll be able to get on and start streaming.
A few post ago on my "Gaming" post I mentioned a link for one of my Streams. I decided to set up a NEW Link side that you can find ALL of my Social Media Links in 1 place. It's by Taplink. So by clicking here Taplink you'll be directed to my Social Links, This'll give you my YouTube, Kick, Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), Discord and several others you can follow me at IF you are a Gamer. If you are NOT a gamer but know someone that is and enjoys watching and/or playing games, Direct them to this Blog and let them know.
The reason for me Streaming is to help support our Local Animal Shelter, Veterans and Animal Rehab Facility here in my Small Town. it'll change up frequently. As I stream and as donations come in, they'll be collected and Half of ALL the donations will be given to one of the charities to help with the Animals and Veterans. The other half will be for upgrading equipment for the stream to put back into it.
So I HOPE that you show some support by following me and watching me and Sharing my Links. my Stream is and will be 18+.
