Stupid Things You Have Done With Your Computer...

Not all of us are perfect with computers so now is your chance to tell us all how. This thread is all about how we have all &^*@ed up our computers over the years and didn’t really mean too. Maybe you were trying something out or just installing a new sound card. Lets all hear your best one or two computer mess up stories. Let’s not make fun of each other but laugh together about our bad luck or just plain stupidity.

1. Me and my friend a long time ago wanted to take the processor out his sony viao to put in a new processor. First sony glued the processor to the heat sink, which we had no idea about. So we pulled so hard on that thing to get it out. Finally the heat sink came out along with the processor, unfortunately that didn’t give us the chance to unlock the processor. So we go to put in the new processor, and one goddamn pin is bent. We bend it back, stick it in and nothing works.... So we go to put in the old processor, of course we had no idea about zero force nor the fact that you must lift the lever for the processor. Long story short we had three people at the same time pushing on the heat sink to get in the processor. 2 weeks later we realized that you needed to lift the lever, put is back in and somehow it worked again.

2. Just recently I built a new computer. I had a hard drive on it with all my music and other things from my last computer about 120 gigs worth. I wasn't paying attention, and plugged it into a Fan power connector... Oh yes everything was gone. Smelled some burning, realized what I did, and just sat there in awe.

I have many more, but this is what first came to mind... Lets hear yours!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh man I never had anything with sparks... Thats great, but at the same time sucks haha

There's nowhere I can't reach.
