I totally dig the TECH cavalry coming to save me, but I'm SO not interested in troubleshooting this...I'm gonna do what all people do in this situation, and just get new shit...I am worried that I will find more issues than I care to at this point...I just spent $100, got a little WD laptop drive, and will continue to compute on this until I muster the cash for my new machine...I'm gonna snatch pieces outta the one that I have, maybe just the drives, as 2 of them will need to have those pins replaced...
So, I will probably have to go ahead and get all SATA drives too, new mobo, chip, hopefully I can keep my RAM, and PSU...

...Oh, and just for the record (seeing as it relates to this topic somewhat, lol), 2 PSU's had fucked up my 2 computers, basically slowly killing either the mobo or its components after a period of 1-2 years (but remember, these are made be cheapo Chinese brands - not to be racist, just, there ARE alot of them, and they ARE cheap, lol)
do you mean running a dual psu setup or 2 psu's messed up 2 different computers, each on their own in a single psu arrangement?
and slowly killing over 1-2 years??? that is an eternity for computer components...

Still don't think I'm cursed..?
My laptop died over the weekend...
And for the first time in probably about hmm...14 years or so, I do not own a working computer...I'm currently using my Mom's PC...
I am big on signs...For instance, when I felt like I was about to die on my porch in 2004 of an asthma attack, I stopped smoking that day...I have decided to take up a new hobby in light of, I'm going to learrn to work on cars...My time on AF will probably decrease a bit, but not much...
