    NEED HELP - Did I fry my MOBO ?

    Also, I didnt realize this static build up was such an anomaly. I also get identical shocks when I touch my Receiver, which outputs my computer's sound and is plugged into the same sugre protector & outlet.

    NEED HELP - Did I fry my MOBO ?

    I will try that. I am being told to take everything out and try to boot to BIOS with just one stick of RAM installed. Any other ideas?

    Need Help - Did I fry my MOBO ?!

    If the standoffs are the little metal spacers that go between the motheboard and the case, than yes, I used those.

    It cant be the wiring in my house, b/c this "shorting" issue has happened both in my new apartment and at my parents house when I was previously there with the same computer. Maybe the Surge Protector I plug my computer into is no good?! I will try with nothing but 1 stick of RAM and see...

    I need assistance in figuring out which component in my PC recently broke. I built my own PC. It has always run very well, BUT once in a while static electricity would build up on me, and either when i touched it with my hand or a thunb drive, I would shock it and it would turn off...

    NEED HELP - Did I fry my MOBO ?

    Are the "Standoffs" the spacers between the case and the motherboard? If so, than yes, I used those. As far as the power button, I dont think its that, because when I hit the power button, it does in fact start the computer, in terms of the fans and everything, but never reaches BIOS. Also...

    Everything You Need To Know About Protein

    Schedule them both in. A good schedule should change every 3-4 weeks to keep your body "guessing" and adapting. You will be able to use more more weight with a barbell, but the dumbbells are also important too, as is incline use.

    Everything You Need To Know About Protein

    Yes, there is a very large difference. On a machine, there is only a singl plane in which the weight can be moved. You are only responsible for moving it up and down, and the machine will keep it steady for you. With free weights, you are responsible for the stabilization. A free...

    SVT, the guys giving you a hard time obviously do not understand the idea of being "sport specific". That video is very impressive and I can tell you are proud of it, as you should be. Your body type would not work for me, as a wrestler, but I respect the the work you put in. Good job man!

    Alert, costco return policy will be changing at the beginning of the new year

    I agree with pretty much everything you said, but your generalizations are ridiculous. Black people dont shop at costco? Asians and hispanics dont take advantage of the system? Oh, I see... Since YOU mostly see white people at YOUR Costco, all violators of the policy are WHITE TRASH...

    How exactly bad is a blood pressure of 138/80?

    120/80 is considered good/average.... You want to be as close to that or below for, theoretically, your whole life. You are not too far above, and qith your weight still droping, I would say you are ok and headed in a good direction. BUT, I AM NOT A DOCTOR!! So, thats my opinion.
