Twas the night before Christmas and all through the ghetto, not a gunshot was heard not even a tech! I sat in my PC chair browsing the Newegg website while thoughts of video cards and PSU for my PC danced in my head. All of a sudden who do I see on AIM? None other but Dj Donkey and Sgt Retehi. I open a chat room and boast on what I plan to purchase for my PC. Donkey then informs me that the videocard I wanted may not fit my port slots. I told him that I would have access to a digital camera later that night and would pop open my PC and take pics and show it to them.
I log off and get ready to go to a party later in the evening. With lots of time left before the festivities would begin I decided I would open up my PC and take a peek around. Inside I was like a toddler at a toy store. Touching everything and messing around. Surprised at the big fan in my PC I decided I would take it off just to see what my procescessor chip looked like. Anyway, wahetever, I put everything back the way it was and logged back on. At that moment I thought I smelled something, but I payed it no mind. I then inform donkey of my doing, promptong him to warn me that perhaps what I did wasn't a good idea. I then immedieatly became paranoid. Thinking maybe I put the fan back on wrong I would somehow cause my PC to explode or melt. Then all of a sudden that strange smell lurked once again around my nose. In my mind it was the smell of burning plastic computer equipment. But In actuallity it was Vic's Vapor Rub ![]() "OH SHIT MY MOTHERBOARD IS MELTING", I thought to myself. Scared that I would lose my PC, I immediatly reached to shut off my PC by pushing the power button. 2 seconds passed and it wasn't going off fast enough. This called for drastic measures, for my PC was at stake! So I went for the powercord. ![]() I then opened up my PC again to see what the damage was... Nothing! But I surely smelled the smell which caused me to take drastic actions. I then looked around the house, and It turned out my Grandmother had rubbed some Vics Vapor Rub on my neices chest. Relieved that my PC was safe, I laughed at my paranoid actions and went back on to convey the humerous story to Donkey and Sgt Retehi. But low and behold a new problem showed up. I couldn't access any of the 4 days worth of music I had ripped in my PC. Cosulting with Donkey and Sgt on what actions I should take I decided to restart my computer. Thinking maybe I fucked up something with the harddrive of my PC by pulling the plug so hastily I was thinking what I could do to fix it.Then I noticed the option "F10 For System Recovery" I figure hey maybe I can fix whatever happened to my PC with that. I pressed it and ignored all the text and just began performing a system recovery...... All I can say is ![]() I totally fucked up my computer, Lost every program I installed on my PC all my configurations and what was worth I was getting alot of random errors and couldn't operate many programs. In the end Thank fully I had made Recovery Discs a long time ago So I was able to restore my PC back to working order and I ended up reformatting my PC. Some final images of the stupidity of that night. ![]() ![]() PS. Oh yeah Donkey was right, the video Card I wanted wouldn't fit in my PC. ![]() -------------------- "Brotherhood asked for no friendship, only loyalty.
