I don't know how I did it but I killed my comp last night. I was plugging in my usb cord to update my iPod and the comp froze, joy! I flicked the hard switch in the back, waited a minute or two and turned it back on. It looked like everything worked but nothing showed up on the monitor

Well I turned off the comp and opened my case, thinking I blew up my video card or motherboard (can't smell so that rules out the smell the burnt plastic) since no signal was going to my monitor. Used a different graphics card in a different slot and still nothing. I tried a few more things and nothing happened still. So I believe I shot my motherboard (and that's all I hope). Need to go take it to a doctor today after work.... I'm praying to god I don't have to replace too much (especially my HD which I just got up to speed after it was formatted by accident).

I blame Coca for all this. Primal gets a little of the blame but mostly it's that punk Coca.
