Who here is an idiot?

*jmebonner raises hand*

I spent the last 45 minutes messing with a video card I got. It worked, then all of a sudden, it didn't. I tried clearing the cmos, a different card, etc. etc.
I was just about to start a thread and it hits me.








I had no ram in, I had to take it out to get the hdd out
All is well now though!

And no, I didn't get any beeps, because I didn't have the speaker hooked up.

My brainless moved caused me slightly more pain......... Awhile back I stuck my finger in a running fan while tightening a screw while my system was running. (not smart I know... i was in a hurry ) BTW ..... that really hurts and I found out your little finger sure can bleed alot too

Glad all is well with your system !!

LOL. Just the other day I was wondering wy my system wouldn't fire-up. Didn't take as long as 45 minutes to figure the problem out, but I didn't have the power connected to the mainboard! I was doing some summer wiring re-organizing and forgot to reconnect it..

I had one of my DC systems down for about a month (buddy needed the ram). While it was down, I was playing with the watercooler setup that I am completing. just fitting it in place and stuff. When i got the ram, I plugged it in, fired it up and ........ nothing. i check the switch on PSU, its on, check the power cable, all is good. open the system, DOH, some1 forgot to put back the CPU and HSF!!!! no wonder it didnt work!
This stuff only happens when youre trying to hurry up and not paying attention!!!
