DAY 1
got sp1....... the install went fine.. downloaded it one morning went to work, came home, installed it... simple.
doing work for a few hours and BAM! lights out, spark flew across my face, lights back on.. hmm computer is still on, but i turned it off to be safe.
DAY 2
came home from work again, put on my computer to finish up an ad i was making for a client, and 45minutes later i hear a "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" continuosly coming from my machine and i thought "ok its over heating", my old machine buzzed when it over heated in summer, so i switched it off, turned it back on a little while later for it to restart with the error "no nvram" - you know that non volotile ram or whatever it is.. the memory thats powered by the lil battery to store stuff when your computer is off..
so i got out the ol swiss army knife and pulled my machine apart, to replace the battery and it seems my board seems fried, my power supply is blowing hot air from it and it seems like a small fire has been lit inside my computer..
so today i have to buy hopefully only a new board and a new power supply.. im not gonna install SP1 again it seems like it doesnt want to be installed and theres alot of bad karma all around it..
anyone else have any horrific stories to tell about sp1 and the distruction of your computer
