    That was some crazy ****...

    Earlier today, i was unplugging the network cable from my network card when i heard something fall inside my case. I turned off my computer and opened it up to see what it was and oddly enough, my network card came loose and fell out of its pci slot while the computer was running. Funny thing is, my computer didn't lock up and everything was running like normal when i put it back in and turned on my computer again. I figured at least the nic or the pci slot would've got fried doing such a thing. Guess i'm lucky.

    Yeah, i did, but i mustn't have tightened the screw enough and it caused it to come out of its placement. But yeah, i made sure everything was in there nice and tight to prevent that from happening again. I really got to stop being so careless with computer hardware.
