Most of us have been building our own PC's for a long time and we all know with any success there is a near certain chance for FAIL
Post up your first big FAIL and the lesson learned from it....
Here's mine:
I was running a Socket A system with a 1Ghz Athlon at the time. In the middle of playing a game, Unreal I think it was, I heard a snap inside my PC followed by a rattling noise and a crash.
I was just at the wtf moment when the PC shut down and wouldn't restart??? Pulled the side panel off and realized that the CPU cooler had snapped off the socket and fell off into the bottom of the case.... burned the CPU out in like 10 seconds![Wtf :wtf: :wtf:](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/wtf-v1.gif)
Lesson learned:
I always ensure my CPU runs as cool as possible and the cooler is mounted securely![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/tongue-v1.gif)
