So this one time my best friend was building a new computer for his gf. They listened to me and got the parts that I told them to. Now my friend is ok with computers but not great. They enlisted the gf's older brother to assist them in the build. This guy is an intellegint person, I built a computer for him and showed him exactly how to do it all. I figured a person with a degree in ROCKET SCIENCE would be able to remember what to do. But of course after they finish "building" the computer I get a call
friend -"hey this thing wont boot up"
me- "is it plugged in etc."
friend - "yeah.. its all hooked up right but it won't turn on"
me- "Bring it over I'll get i working"
So after I get the computer and fixing all the little things they did wrong I tried to turn it on. Nothing, just spinning fans. So I decided to see if they had the hsf on right just in case. I unlatch it and pull the hsf off... I look in to examine the processor... where is the hell is it. Than I look at the the heatsink, there is the processor STUCK on the heatsink by the thermal pad. Apperantly the Rocket Scientist put in the processor WRONG and bent some pins. Sooooo I fixed the pins put it in correctly and promtly lost all faith in rocket scientists.
