STORM2K

Hi everyone,

Last night when I was trying to install some memory on my computer, I fried something major. So that is why I was not online for almost a full day. I am using a loaner computer right now (thank Goodness for warranties! ) and will be with limited Internet access for a few days. So I will still be around but will have much more limited Internet access.

Sorry Joshua. I hope you get it fixed soon

Good luck Joshua!

Sorry to hear you fried it. Hope you get it back up and running soon!

Good luck on getting the computer back up and running, Joshua!

Thanks everyone! The loaner is pretty nice, it has a DVD player and a 2.6 GHz Celeron vs. my 1.1 GHz Celeron. Plus it has DDRAM (faster than SDRAM) and in addition it has a 80 gig Hard Drive.

Next time you install RAM, turn the computer off first j/k


Thanks for letting us know, and hope things work out soon.

I will be sure to be ten feet away from the computer when I install RAM next time.

Wowsers, Josh. When you said you fried it, for a second I thought cookware was involved.

I'll keep my fingers crossed on the warranty. I hope they honor the warranty since you were working on it yourself.

They don't know that. I made sure to put the original memory back in before I took it in for repairs, and not once while I was there did I mention the fact that I was working on it.

Like Seargant Schultz would say: "I seee NUUUTHING"

I got a call from the service place today. There is good news from all this. The part that burned (my motherboard / CPU thingy) is no longer being made since it's too old (only 1 year and 9 months) but we all know how fast technology evolves these days. They will be getting me a brand new computer FOR FREE (thanks to my warranty ); and I will not lose any data all because I made a backup on my other hard drive. That is why you make backups, and that is why you get warranties.
