my power supply just died..
couldve possibly taken out my motherboard with it..
maybe other stuff too..

So anyway, I disabled the stall on f1 thing cause sometimes it just randomly likes to say that the overclock didnt work so on and so forth and it bugged me how it just always stalled me so thats why i turned it off..

so anyway im in the middle of watchin my penguin pr0n when it decides to reset itself..
so I pass it off as nothing cause i got some iffy power coming out of those sockets o mine..
and I go to take a tinkle and I come back and I see it has reset itself again so me figuring it had something to do with my overclocking i just kept hitting delete to get into the setup..
and right as i enter the setup i see the error something about a surge coming from the power unit... so right as I go to turn it off.. it shuts itself off... I try switching to my old power supply but it wont turn on with that one and it'll turn on with the bad 600 watter.
I got 2 beeps when I turned it on again but I didnt get any video whatsoever.
I tried switching it to the onboard video and i got 2 beeps again but still no video then i shut it off once more and tried the 500 watter again and it never turned on again... well with the 500 watter.

So here I am crossing my fingers hoping that it didn't take anything else out.
I'm ordering the same parts as I speak... gonna cost me 188 with overnight shipping..
i got important matters that need to be finished..
If however all fails then that means that possibly my RAM or my Processor has died with it.
I would RMA but I think my overclocking voids any warranties.

Already tried resetting the bios but that didnt work... even took out the battery and resetting the bios and natha...

At this point I'm just a very sad penguin.

Edit: Turns out, there's just a loose connector on the 500 watt power supply. So everything works, though I'm almost tempted to just buy a new video card while im at it..
I ended up canceling my order and just ordering a new power supply because honestly I get the feeling OCz isn't going to replace it due to the fact that I did some kind of rebate already with them and the likes..

I already knew no gills, no feathers and he was set. I didn’t know there was penguin porn.

Oh well, I guess a blind squirrel isn’t the only one looking for a nut.

Now don't get me wrong, those lambs can be somethin but it does get dull after a bit and requires something new.
Penguin pr0n is all over the intertubes, however it's called "mating" and is usually found on youtube for hilarity or educational purposes.

The mood went away as soon as I found out my power supply blew out.
So instead I had to blow off a different kind of steam and for that I played a lil ol flash game called Poke The Penguin by Lycos..
