Title: Taking bets...
Post by: THX on January 09, 2005, 08:23:35 PM

I touched my computer case with a HUGE zap of static electricity.  It won\'t go into POST anymore and is basically useless.

Guess which of these component(s) is fried:

1) Ram
2) CPU
3) Motherboard
4) Graphics Card
5) PSU
6) Harddrive

Hint: it\'s more than 1 :eek:

Winner gets a prize that has yet TBD.

So far it\'s definitely #1 and #3.

PSU works, graphics card works (thankfully!), I\'m almost certain the HDs work, but I\'m unceratin about the CPU.  I don\'t have another compatible mobo to test it out with.
