Well I have formatted the wrong drive a few times, nothing major just lost a few things I had wanted. The REALLY close call was when I put a AGP 1x Card into my AGP 2x Slot (the paper that came with my video card SAID it was 2x compatible and even the connectors on the bottem were correct but after searching there site found it was only 1x, 3.3v) Anywho, after putting it in and trying to boot my system, nothing happened, I was like "Maby I just never seated it perfectly" so off I go to take the card out, without removing the power cuz it was going to be such a quick job. And what happens? The fucking thing turns on in the middle of me removing it from the AGP slot, I see a blue spark come from the Video card to the mobo and thats when my heart hit my stomach. The system was a brand new P4 2.53, 1gb RAM, 580gb worth of HDD Space, a $1500 Capture Card, DVD Burner, And a $200 sound card, And the only thing that fried was my Power header on my mobo making it so I cant turn the power off now, LOL As soon as I plug it in, the fans start spinning, and the HDDs power up, then I hit the power button and it POSTs, then when I shut down, it just gets to the last, I hear my System drive power down and then everything still runs. I am some dame glad that thats all that happened, cuz I had just paid over $5000 for the whole system. Scarest day of my life.
