yeah i almost caplocked the whole thread title because this shits pissed me off..
so i have this wonderful xclios windtunnel case.. out side it looks great.. performs great.. BUT it cant hold a god damn graphics card with its tool-less pos locking mechanism for anything.. so about 3 hours ago my system completely friggin crashed while in the middle of a game.. it has never done this in the 2 years ive been running this rig(the first system in my sig other ones dead).. so i figured it was the piece of junk boot drive i was using in this system after it kept locking up on me.... so i switched over to my windows 7 drive.. spend 30 minutes doing a windows boot repair since ive never run windows 7 on this system(its the boot drive from my dead system).. well it kept BSOD'ing so im like what the fuck.. figured that the change in motherboard, cpu and hdd's was making it mad or there was something else wrong..
so i booted back up into xp a few times trying to figure out what was causing it to lock up and watching everything that loaded up.. couldnt figure it out.. so i figured maybe it was the 2 sticks of generic ram im running with my high end ram.. so i open my case and low and behold i look at the bottom of it and my GTX 260 is friggin hanging half way out of the pci-e slot.. so i put it in.. get everything working again.. then boom system crashes to bios.. so i open the case again and the pos fell out once more.. so now im stick with some half ass rigged thing hold my gtx 260 up just so that if the mechanism pops open again the friggin card wont fall out.. who the fuck comes up with this bullshit! (yeah yeah i know its my fault i bought the case but i never had this problem with my 8800GT)
yeah.. so i just had to get that shit out of my system because its 4 in the friggin morning and i have a 5 1/2 hour drive when i wake up..
