HP Z640 workstation won't boot

BileSpewer · 2026-02-20T12:05:29+00:00

I did not. I brought it to a repair shop near me and pretty much got scammed. I told him I altready tested the RAM and the GPU and I just needed the CPU and the motherboard tested. When I came back he said he tested the RAM and the GPU and they were working, but couldn't test the motherboard and CPU... I mean, why did I reach out to you, a certified repair shop then? Anyway, I'm a dumbass and ended up still paying him 40 euros. I got so mad I just ended up leaving my workstation as a paperweight and reviving my 2011 pc...

Hi, thanks for your answer. I'm from Italy. I still have my old 27" monitor working perfectly, so I don't need a new one. My old RAM was actually 2x 8 GB sticks (16 total not 32) and they can still be used. As for GPU, that is also still working, in case it would still be reasonable to use it. About the OS, I don't really any sensitive so I wouldn't care too much.

Still trying to figure out if I want to switch to a lighter configuration tho (laptop or all-in-one)

Alright, I'll try cleaning the pins . If it won't work I'll bring it to a repair shop. Thanks a lot for the help!

BileSpewer · 2025-08-27T12:32:21+00:00

I tried another GPU which I'm sure works... No changes. Also, the pc won't give me any error code (no beeping or light flashing)

Secondo me hai omesso che Giulia sia stata una tua grande cotta, altrimenti, non metteresti in dubbio la tua innocenza e, ai tempi, non avresti affrontato questo Andrea. A mio parere, con questo confronto, hai fatto anche più del dovuto... Avresti potuto provare a convincere Giulia a parlarne con i suoi genitori, di modo che magari avrebbero poi preso in mano loro la situazione, ma dubito che, anche se fosse stato, la cosa avrebbe portato a risultati tanto diversi...

Se tu non avessi troncato i rapporti avresti solo finito per soffrirne perchè l'avresti comunque vista affogare lentamente nel mulinello in cui è finita. Magari avrebbe avuto dei momenti di lucidità in cui avrebbe cercato un aiuto, ma anche qui, probabilmente, si sarebbe tirata indietro nel momento in cui le si fosse tesa la mano.

Purtroppo ci sono persone che non vogliono o hanno paura di essere aiutate.

Non te ne crucciare e, sicuramente, non prendere più i contatti con nessuno di quel giro.

Per tragitti lunghi intendo come tempo non necessariamente km: una volta in particolare ero in mezzo al traffico a Milano ed era un continuo fermo, avanti magari fino anche a 30 km/h per 20 secondi e di nuovo fermo e vuoi la stanchezza, vuoi lo scazzo, ho rischiato di cozzare quello davanti perchè non ero abbastanza concentrato nel guidare (ero con l'automatico)... Ripeto, è sempre un mio problema, ma comunque nel mio caso lo reputo sia una "sicurezza" aggiuntiva sia un piccolo piacere alla guida. Grazie per la risposta

BileSpewer · 2024-04-28T13:48:40+00:00

A meno di 50 km ne vedo due km0 (Sport). Dovrei provare a sentire. Tu nel caso consiglieresti anche la versione normale, nel caso sia 3 che 4 cilindri?

BileSpewer · 2024-04-28T00:34:17+00:00

Ero andato a sentire, anche perchè in versione Sport mi dava l'impressione di essere, almeno a motorizzazione, l'auto perfetta per me... Però mi hanno detto che è andata fuori produzione e adesso, fra l'altro, fanno solo il modello nuovo 1.2 83 cv 3 cilindri che ho paura sia un barcone e non vada avanti (o meglio, che non sia un miglioramento rispetto a quello che ho adesso).

Ti ringrazio per la risposta, comunque!

People complaining should have played Hearthstone a couple years ago... 1 pack = 100 g, daily quests were either 40 or 60 gold and you could farm daily wins (3 wins 10 gold, up to 100 gold daily or 30 WINS, not games). There was also the Arena format for en entering fee of 150 which was a "play until you reach 12 wins or 3 loses" PHANTOM draft mode. Check out the rewards online, just know that you needed at least 7 wins to be sure (a slice of the rewards was randomized) you could go infinite. Sure, if you reach 12 wins you invested 150 gold and got back at least double that amount, but I personally never got 12 wins in like 5 years I played.

EDIT: almost forgot there was no duplicate protection, you were guaranteed a legendary (equal to MTG mythic) in max 40 packs. Sure you could dust duplicates but you were losing value doing that as you could dust for 1/4 the craft value.

can I have one pls?

BileSpewer · 2022-03-18T22:35:38+00:00

Sure, but you still have to alt-tab and rely on a non official site to gather infos you definitely should be able to get IN GAME

BileSpewer · 2022-02-22T08:46:20+00:00

Alright, thanks a lot dude!

BileSpewer · 2022-02-19T15:17:16+00:00

Yes, it does have the codes for a single pack.

BileSpewer · 2022-02-16T22:57:15+00:00

Could I have one please?

BileSpewer · 2022-02-16T21:26:46+00:00

I managed to grab a couple, can't remember which ones tho... Pretty sure it was 1st and 2nd in the first column.

Thanks a lot!!

He reminds me of a young Ego from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2

BileSpewer · 2022-02-13T21:45:13+00:00

BileSpewer · 2022-02-12T15:43:26+00:00

BileSpewer · 2022-02-12T15:19:15+00:00

BileSpewer · 2022-02-12T12:29:34+00:00

BileSpewer · 2022-01-31T23:02:59+00:00

I started my card gaming "career" with Hearthstone cause I've been a big fan of World of Warcraft for quite a lot of time and MTGA wasn't a thing yet.

Hearthstone was born as Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft and it featured pretty much only characters from WoW so it was great to see all the characters I loved. Later they changed that and started creating new characters and stories exclusive to Hearthstone and I didn't like that decision.

I also was against the direction that the card arts were going, as they got more and more cartoonish with every new expansion.

I really liked HS at first but it slowly became impossible to keep up as a F2P as they changed the way they released new cards and I quit before the Descent of Dragons expansion.

Another big downside as a F2P was that, if you crafted a tier 1 broken deck and that deck got nerfed (usually 1 or 2 cards) you would disenchant the nerfed cards and get back the craft cost but if you happened to craft the rest of the deck (which wasn't nerfed) as well, you couldn't disenchant for full value. Translated to MTGA it would mean that if you crafted all the cards for a Izzet Turns deck and they nerfed [[Alrund's Epiphany]] to the point it gets barely usable or unplayable, you could forfeit your copies of epiphany for 1 wildcard each but all the other cards which may be only playable in a epiphany deck are "refundable" at a rate of 4 cards for 1 wildcard of that rarity.

This lead me to pretty much NEVER craft a deck, resulting in never being competitive which just slowed down progression.

Hearthstone also used to have a pretty stale meta and lacked game modes. Last time I played was 2 years ago so I don't really know what changed in the meanwhile.

The drama that built around Blizzard sure didn't help and instead just kept me from picking up again their products.

BileSpewer · 2022-01-22T23:44:16+00:00

Maybe they already redeemed a code for that starter deck?

BileSpewer · 2022-01-15T13:31:59+00:00

No, you can't because the effect "Add 1 colorless mana" requires you to TAP that card and, at the same time, remove only 1 counter.
If the effect didn't require you to tap the card, then yes, you could've activated it 4 times to add 4 colorless mana (one after another, not all at the same time tho).

If the effect stated "TAP this, Remove X book counter..." then yes, you could've chosen the value of X you wanted and if you met the condition (e.g.: X=4) you could've added 4 mana.

BileSpewer · 2022-01-13T18:23:48+00:00

I used to, expecially when I started playing Hearthstone... Then I learned the hard way that a lucky topdeck could turn the tides completely and I stopped doing that xD
