I got home today, and turned on my pc as usual, i found a note left by my parent saying a m8 had been round to take back the cd-writer we share. fair enuf, i was expecting him to anyways. So my pc starts booting - then error: invalid system disk. Ah crap, what has he done?? after more poking aroun i end up with a bios checksum error. Oh dear, this isnt looking good. More poking around, and more failed attempts to boot. This lasted for a while, my pc was on for a good half hour. Then i noticed it. There was a distinct high pitched whine missing, he had manage to knock the power supply wires for the CPU fan out! arg!! i very, VERY quickly cut the power, plugged it in, and rebooted. When it got to windows it was at 48C! i really hate to think how hiugh it went and how close i came to losing my first CPU. I tentativly watched as the temp came down to a much nicer 32C, and now im relieved :D
