I have in fact unplugged it, every time I removed anything internal. It would be rather silly to leave it plugged in while adding/removing hardware, don't you think?

My computer shipped with a GeForce 5300 FX. I purchased a Radeon X800XL about 4-6 months ago.

I am in fact coming down sick, which is why I took the nap. The computer was relatively idle when I took the nap; it had a number of dormant programs as well as mIRC, MSN Messenger, and three copies of SphtBotv3 running.

I did briefly look for scorch marks, and did not find anything. It is dual-channel RAM, which if I remember correctly means that RAM must be inserted in pairs, of which I only have one pair. I have not tried swapping out the RAM into different slots.

I called tech support, and they said that it's probably a dead motherboard. But, unfortunately they cannot fix the machine until I've faxed in a correction to a mistake that the retailer made when I purchased the machine (& warranty) a little over a year ago, which I just completed. It will take them three business days to make the changes necessary, and then however long it takes to fix the machine. I'm looking at it being down for probably another week. Sad

sux to be me Sad
