Here is a topic to talk about. It was talked about once but that thread has been deleted.
What are some of your worst mistakes that you have made with computers?
Mine is blowing up PCI slots and the hard drive out of one computer, my favorite was putting the proccesor in back wards. Today I almost blew a 550Mhz proccesor. I also learned that keylocks can blow your motherboard too.
What are yours?
THIS IS STUPID, AND BIG!!!! GO ME!!!!!!PHP Code:Moose?
:smokes:
BAM!!! TO THE TOP!!!
i fried a second-hand, but according to my friend, functional AT motherboard by plugging in the power connection to it the wrong way.Quote:

My latest mistake- Removed a heatsink and fan off a cpu. The pc was being used in a dusty environment and the heatsink/fan were COVERED in dust. Anyway, after a clean I stuck it all back together. I didn't use any thermal paste when re attaching the heatsink to the cpu. I just assumed it didn't really need it. What difference could it make, right?
It made a huge difference! Within ten minutes of uptime it crashed due to overheating. To make thing worse it crashed during a critical update install...
belated happy new year everyone!!!
:)

The First Law of Thermodynamics:
Heat is work and work is heat.
Heat is work and work is heat
Very good! The Second Law of Thermodynamics:
Heat cannot of itself pass from one body to a hotter body,
Heat cannot of itself pass from one body to a hotter body
Heat won't pass from a cooler to a hotter,
Heat won't pass from a cooler to a hotter
You can try it if you like but you'd far better notter,
You can try it if you like but you'd far better notter
'Cos the cold in the cooler will get hotter as a ruler,
'Cos the cold in the cooler will get hotter as a ruler
'Cos the hotter body's heat will pass to the cooler,
'Cos the hotter body's heat will pass to the cooler
Good, First Law:
Heat is work and work is heat and work is heat and heat is work
Heat will pass by conduction,
Heat will pass by conduction
And heat will pass by convection,
Heat will pass by convection
And heat will pass by radiation,
Heat will pass by radiation
And that's a physical law.
Heat is work and work's a curse,
And all the heat in the universe,
Is gonna cooooool down
'Cos it can't increase,
Then there'll be no more work
And there'll be perfect peace
Really?
Yeah, that's entropy, maan!
And its all because of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which lays down:
That you can't pass heat from a cooler to a hotter,
Try it if you like but you far better notter,
'Cos the cold in the cooler will get hotter as a ruler,
'Cos the hotter body's heat will pass to the cooler.
Oh you can't pass heat, cooler to a hotter,
Try it if you like but you'll only look a fooler
'Cos the cold in the cooler will get hotter as a ruler
And that's a physical Law!
Oh, I'm hot!
Hot? That's because you've been working!
Oh, Beatles - nothing!
That's the First and Second Law of Thermodynamics!

Just to add..
I WANT better cooler on my pc...
44 deg celcius for a mb
and 62 deg celcius for a cpu is NOT good...
I'll just leave the case open and defrost my windows...

What happened to all of you that were posting alot before?
Here are some topics
What is the best OS?;) :D
What kind of education do you have?
How many of you are computer techs?
Am I annoying?:D
I don't consider one OS the best, but for Windows I like Win 2000, and 98SE.
Linux I like Red Hat and Mandrake, cause i haven't had time to try openBSD or freebsd.
I am in college now, and I am a computer tech.
I am not going to answer the last question.
In your dreams :)Quote:
