Forums - PC Discussion - Almost killed my home threatre PC with a booger.

I was sitting in my chair, making a reply to famousringo's thread about Project Natal when I sneezed. I didn't get my hand up quite in time so I accidently flicked a long chain of booger off my desperate raching palm which landed smack between the heatshield and PCB of my HD 4670 graphics card. My computer was open because I was doing some work inside it at the same time as trolling the PS3/Wii/Xbox 360/PC on vgchartz.

So there I was, sitting with disbelief as some of my booger was oozing its way into the video card itself. It gave me enough time to think of the terrible thing I had just done before the TV screen went blank. I rebooted the PC with hope, but it gave me the four beeps of doom. FBOD, the GPU circuitry was reporting an error. Luckily I managed to clean the booger off by using some isopropyl alcohol and a cotton bud stick.

Its been a very lucky/unlucky day for me.



Tease.

All's well that ends well. Hopefully from here on out you'll only use your booger shooting powers for good.



CIHYFS?

I have to give this thread a 10/10. Chapeau.

I'll definately try! I think I understand why I break things so much. I have so much bad luck with hardware... I mean I didn't try to kill the PS3 and it broke twice, kicked my Wii and almost killed it, tried to kill my Xbox 360 with a heater and it didn't die.

Damnit, I think I must have broken a house of mirrors.



Tease.

haha

And that is the work of Karma... lol :P



Well, that's some bad luck right there xD

You know what's the best thing about this thread to me? That it's in the PC Discussion.

You're a funny man Squilliam.
