Gee, and here I thought I'd be getting things done today. :p
I installed my new hard drive today, and everything was going along swimmingly for a bit. I was in the midst of copying files onto it when the entire system froze and I had to reboot.
Of course, when trying to reboot, I didn't even get past the first screen. It gets as far as "Memory Te" (as in Memory Test) and then it hangs and goes to a black screen. I tried disconnecting the new hard drive, disconnecting the old hard drive, swapping out the RAM, and none of those things has any effect on the bootup.
I don't know what that means, but it does not make me a happy camper. Motherboard? Processor? Something is clearly not doing its job. Help?
I suppose I'm off to go have some lunch and clean my room. Rrrrgh!!
