busta what it is right now!
ok, i'm working on 4ish hours of sleep so that explains my temporary lack of geek expertise, but dave: come on! thankfully i know you don't read this. Probably because it's not neowin (neowin.net)
we just put in the new hard-drive in my boxz0r which had no problems. All of a sudden after a format or two we are installing the printer and ker-fucking-bam! BSOD [blue screen of death which if you see in xp is a very bad sign] and makes this God-awful noise like someone just put it's firewire male hookup into the network port of doom! so we shut 'er off (classic 'hyuck we don't know what we's doin' move) boot back, same noise. Boot into windows, no display all of a sudden, just a white flicker. After i got really choked and dave left, my calm zen returned to me and i began to troubleshoot like without the fanaticism and stupidity of two immature deprived young men on a deadline. Boom, turn on the tv and suddenly i see my desktop! whoops, forgot about dual-displays which makes that probably the stupidest thing i've ever done with a computer ever (good thing the restores didn't work!)
i never firgued out what the noise was from though. I once put new ram into my computer and waited till grey smoke fumed out, maybe that was dumber. Maybe higher education isn't a bad idea *giggle*
