Story time!

Okay I was waiting in line for 190min for DC .5 when finally it was my turn! I was downloading it for 5 min when the screen went blank.

Always something ya know?

I restart the computer when I get a BIOS corruption error and a lot of garbled text.

HAD ALL THAT OVERCLOCKING CAUGHT UP WITH ME???

I reminded myself how broke I was and saw myself sulking over a slow ass Dell in the near future. ;- (

I could not even flash the bios, this **** was bad! My computer was pissed as hell at me. I prayed for a good 5 minutes, not knowing what the hell to do.

Well, I vacuumed the inside and reseated the $400 video card with extreme care and,

SUCCESS!!!

Now I'm back in line waiting for DC .5.

What the hell happened???

Had a few small dust bunnies caused major ESD? I clean the inside of my computer once a week! I'm suing ATI for emotional damage.
