This morning around 1 am, a terrible accident occured.

To a normal man, a pop was heard. To the trained ear it sounded like a gunshot. When I entered the room, the stench of death filled the air. She was dead long before I got to her.


My motherboard failed me and sent a large amount of voltage right at the cpu, which in turn, failed me as well. Armogeddon00 and I looked at the board today and noticed charred regulators and blown transistors. So ofcourse when the heat sink was removed we weren't surprised that the amd xp 1800+ was damaged.

Damn and I really liked that computer

RIP Good Buddy
