Last night our power went out. It was a quick jolt followed by 5-6 off/ons. I was on AT at the time actually. Our power was out for 6 hours. When it came back on at midnight or so, naturally I decided to fire up the PC to see how it made out. Long story short - my mobo is fried and I will most likely have to RMA it - my PSU was plugged directly into the wall - no surge protector etc (smrt). At least I'm thinking that's what happened. So being the computer fiend I am, I was pretty ticked off and left for work this morning pretty ruffled because I was supposed to do some LANing tomorrow.
I arrive at work, and I have an email from my wife:
hi honey,
sorry about your computer, but you will find a way to fix
it. I wasn't sure if you were going to need any specs today
at work, so I looked at the motherboard box:
A7N8X (i'm sure you know this)
www.asus.com
and, if you want i can email them as an irate wife who
bought her husband the MB as a gift and will not wait a
month to have a gift replaced (i'm pretty good at it,
that's how i always get to return stuff, and you could
check it before i send it if you want)
just trying to help,
love
(wife)
HOW SWEET IS THAT?!?! Suddenly I could care less about my computer woes. :heart:
