How to install msi on remote machine from msbuild using Psexec?

Hard drive failure, could it be result of faulty power supply?

  • Yesterday, the computer in my room started making noises, a click sound every 3-5 seconds, then it restarted itself. Typical hard drive failure. Not the end of the world since I have a spare and there isn't a whole lot of data on the computer. But when I plugged in the spare, the BIOS doesn't always recognize it as being present (same case with the original hard drive). I tried booting from my Windows XP install disc, to install it on the new drive, and it said that it could not find a hard drive connected to my computer. I tried using both SATA ports on my motherboard and had the same results. I only have one SATA cable, so I wasn't able to test if that could be part of the problem. So I restarted the machine and looked around in the PC Health Status in the bios. I noticed something unusual... all of the values were jumping around rapidly. In the past, the CPU temp, system temp, fan speed, Vcore, PSU, and clock battery voltages have all remained fairly constant, fluctuating only a little. However, now most of them are jumping up and down rapidly. The jumps are small, but flashing back and forth very quickly and it seems odd that it just started doing that. Could this be the result of a faulty power supply? Or possibly the motherboard? Here's some system specs if it helps: Mobo: MSI ms-6741 rev 1 Cpu: AMD Sempron 3100+ RAM: 2x 1GB DDR 400 MHz PC3200 <--- note: recently upgraded HDD: Samsung HD080HJ (80 GB) both original and new one are same model CD/RW: Artec WRR-52X Graphics: ATI Radeon 9250 on 8x AGP Can't remember the power supply maker, just that it's about a decent $250 power supply. Let me know if I can provide any more useful information. Thanks!

  • Answer:

    My first guess would be a bad power supply. That is a really old system, so it would make sense the power supply failing now as well. 250$ is alot of money for a power supply btw

I would pull120 volt cord out of back of the computer then slide in new system. Everything listed are dated. They don't make AGP cards, today's PCI-e x16. The memory is DDR3 at 3x speed of old memory. A 80 Gb drive is small, I have 4 Tb on my system and I need more room. I think you add one too many Zeros on the price of PSU. If the funds are not there for new system then look into used system may 2 years old. It will be faster than want you have now. In fact your system would not run Windows 7 or 8.
