So much for my kmd 2 450@570. Came home fairly intoxicated and decided to visit my favorite chat room. Didn't turn on my chiller. Lets just say it sure was a purty color after about 10 minutes but I don't really like the smell. Prolly would a made gre4at eggs though. Oh well. Picked up another chip today. So far I got it to 501. I'm chicken now. Was thinkin of blaming it on my stepson but dang he's got his own puter. Ain't told my wife yet. Just told her ,its ok im just upgrading a little bit.

A simple fix for this is one of those under the monitor surge protectors with a master switch and numerous outlets, everytime you fire the computer you gotta hit the master switch which energizes the mon, soundsystem, powersupply, chiller etc...maybe you were lucky, you could have been driving...(or were you?)...

No I was not driving. Office is on its own branch circuit in my house and entire house is on suppressors. I live in Florida, lightening capitol of the world. But I get your point. Wasn't really looking for advise. I thought it was kinda ammusing in a sick way and from what I have read in the past, I thought others might of or I wouldn't have passed this along. Sorry for the post.
