I would honestly like to see a competition that was titled 'worst computer luck ever' because thats what I have. If youre a regular to gibbering you should know how I've gone through 3 monitors in 2 months, That last year my power supply surged my brand new chip right after my warranty ran out, and also my motherboard, hard drive and other essential computer elements fried. You should also know that a few weeks ago my computer started randomly restarting so I was forced to reformat losing just about everything. And today the evil computer gods looked down on me and struck again.

Yesterday my computer started randomly restarting again. Frustrated and thinking maybe it was a heat problem, I asked fehl for one of his extra heat syncs and proceed to install it. Well I had my computer all apart I decided to reseat the memory thinking that maybe it could be a memory problem as well. So I do that and leave my case open on the floor in case I have to change anything again. I turn it on.

Suddenly, I see this strange orange glow emit from the bottom of my computer... I look down and peer inside just in time to see sparks starting to shoot out where my network card and sound card are. The sounds of frying circuit boards filled the air as the strange orange glow illuminated the bottom of my case. The smell of burning ran into my nostrils. Quickly I raced to turn it off. The glow subsided but the damage was done... I pulled the fried network card out of my computer and was in shock as to what just happened... I figured I just witnessed the death of yet another computer of mine. Wondering if I should risk booting it up again, i did it anyways... amazingly my computer surrvived the fire and the fry, for the most part anyways. I was able to escape with only my network card and my sound card completley toasted.. so now lets review:

In The Past Sixth Months I have been through the following:

(3) Computer monitors
(2) 2100+ AMD processors
(2) motherboards
(2) Hard drives
(1) Sound card
(1) Network card
(1) Floppy Drive
(2) Video cards
(1) Heat sync
(3) reformats
