HMM... yep caller id, phone hacking devices all locked and loaded.


Don't tempt me....

On a downer side I got the system all hooked up and hit the button to turn it on... NADA!!!   The dude was like WTF!   I was like DUDE WTF!!!  He was like dude I don't know... I was like Dude you better f'n know!!!  He was like dude I'll take it to my shop... I was like dude I'm giving you 48 hours then I'm coming for your head.... He was like Dude I need witness protection.  I was like dude you'll need more than that...

*Went on like that for awhile*

Suffice it to say no system yet for me but he thinks he'll have it figured out soon....

Go ahead, make my day.

Guess he shorted the board then.  How well qualified is this guy supposed to be?

Making and fixing computers is what this guy does for a living.  The 'shop' he took it to is his business.... So I'm pretty sure he knows what he is doing.  

I think it's the f'n powersupply or the little damn button that turns the computer on.  

The powersupply I have now is under warranty and the damn button is probably like a 15 dollar fix so I spent tons of money getting a whole new system when I probably could've spent between 0-15 $

LOL.... I think I'm going to go over in the corner of the room and cry now

Go ahead, make my day.

And this guy didn't tell you this in the first place, BEFORE you bought all of your stuff? o.O

I don't think we really know what's wrong with it.  He was sure the motherboard was blown on it.

When it was originally dead he hooked up a secondary power supply and got nothing.  He spent almost two hours working on the damn thing to initially diagnoss the motherboard problem.  

Don't get me wrong the guy is really pretty smart at this stuff I'm just a bit miffed that I've been without my system for so long.  I need to get in game and curb some of my MXO killing urges  :D

I'm sure he'll have it all figured out soon.

Go ahead, make my day.

Does the mobo have a light on it?  Most modern ones do, and it will come on unless the board is burnt out.  Many times in the past decade I've fitted a board only to find I had a loose screw sitting in the case below it, shorting it out...
