Learning experience.

Last December I built a pretty nice computer, I spent about $900 on NewEgg for the tower alone. I learned alot about PC by doing this, but recently I learned something new.

Never unplug computer without first turning off power supply!

I had a nice MSI mothorboard until I decided to relocate the power strip. I shut down the computer and unplugged the power strip from the wall then plugged it back in, and ZAP!

So the MSI is dust and I replaced it with an ASUS.

Hmm.. I guess I can understand how that could of happened. I've never heard of it happening though, I do that all the time. Sorry for the loss.

Yeah man, must have been a freak thing...I do it all the time myself. No worries.

Now that I've had it happen, I hear of it plenty. Apparently the board I had was especially suseptable. MSI K8N Neo Platinum
