I was listening to Winamp, and was reinstalling Lineage II on my comp, when suddenly the monitor went blank and my Winamp stopped playing.

Shocked and clueless, I wiggle the mouse, thinking if somehow my screensaver insanely triggered in. “It can’t be” I thought, because never before my Screen Saver stopped my Winamp’s operation . So after I had enough of pressing bunch of random keys and moved and clicked the mouse all over the place and nothing happened, I flipped open the front panel of my PC and hit the reset button.

“No Signal” jumps around my monitor, and soon after, my motherboard made one long beep, followed by three short beeps. I flipped the manual for troubleshooting. “Shit” I said. Because that beep referred to “No Graphic Card detected or Graphic Card error”.

I unplugged it, replug it in and same thing happened. My Graphic card mysteriously died. And no, this time there’s no thunderstorm. Yep. Nada.

So here goes the funeral :

Graphic Card, Manual and Retail Driver CD in the foam-less “coffin” box

Closing Up the “coffin” box

Burial - yeah, bury the “coffin” box among these other boxes of mine. They all contain dead appliances (except that AMD 64 box, I got it from my friend, and using it to store the intestines, err, I mean, excess cables that I have)

Yes I know to get a life. I got one actually. I’m just annoyed so I had to post!

PS: I don’t name my PC nor it components. The name Maya is given by the manufacturer - Gigabyte :)
