So I built my girlfriend a computer out of some spare parts I have lying around. An old Asus P5N-D motherboard, an Intel Q8600, a 470gtx, and a couple 2 gig sticks of ram. It ran fine for what seemed like a long time, then the OS started getting unstable. Ran a checkdisk and it solved a massive...

Well, Scientia might be around here lurking, but the article he posted on his blog is kind of interesting to say the least. I think its a good read and a good way to exercise our powers of deduction and reasoning. with that said, please reply thoughtfully to the thread and leave the bashing out...

I have built a new computer a couple of months ago using Athlon XP 2000+ and Soyo Dragon Lite mobo. After working flawlessly for two months, the computer went caput. Everytime I turn it on, it goes back and forth reading the drives on it and that's it (no video, no sound, no beeps!) I reset...
