Default Infinate Bad Luck...

somewhere in an alternate univers an alternate 'me' must have broken 13 mirrors or something.

a copple of weeks ago the little clips holding the heatsink/fan onto my abit IC7-G mobo came loose (dont ask me how, they just did bad solder maybe? or maybe the fan was unbalanced?)
anyway, I sent the mobo back to where it came from (unfortunaly half way donw the contry - they had the best price and largest range at the time)
and they sent me a new IC7-G (YIPPY!!!) so I stuck the whole thing back to gether (and had fun lapping the cpu heatsink at teh same time - and had my uncle laugh at me since I wasint overclocking it) and it worked great for a week (YAY!!)
then, it just shut down.
wouldent boot.
fans didnt even turn
nada, zip, nogo.

so I took it to the local pc co who I deal with ocasionly (not as cheap as down south and dont have such a large range) and got them to test it.
guess what?
it was the ****** mobo!
they tested everything elce, all seems to be working fine, psu (which we suspected may have caused the problem) was fine also.
so consequently I have to send my mobo back down contry again, *sigh* annother 2 weeks withought my kickass system.

like I said, my alturnate me must have done some prety heafty damage to some mirrors which included the number thirteen (or something)
seriosly though, Im not superstisios. but you gota wonder sometimes heh.
I think ill go mad
you know what???
I BET you that valve will release HL2 to top the whole thing off.
*sigh*

well at least Iv still got 3 pcs that will run seIV
