Well, the other night my "friend" was loosing his patients as he was trying to install a network card. Needless to say to install the floppy drive that wasnt there he had to take out a stick of ram.
After a few min's of banging fingers on rough edges and such my "friend" was ready to put the ram in. It was late and "he" needed to go to bed soon and wasnt even sure that this was going to fix "his" (windows would recognize the network card but wouldnt connect to the router even after manualling entering all the IP's) problem. He quickly put the ram in and thought both clips snapped.
When "he" turned on his brand new $600+ computer (no less then 3 days old) and he heard a faint crackle that slowly (slow relative to the amount of time...5 seconds) begain to snap snap and smell.
He turned off the PSU but it was too late, niether stick would boot his new ($600+) rig.
He RMA'd the motherboard and the RAM and it is on it's way (he will have to wait about 1 1/2 weeks) but he just wants to make sure "he" didnt hurt anything else...PCI/AGP devices....CPU...
a very shamefull
