The Weirdness that is my computer

[Lorake]

... nah your right mini. Lorake didnt notice that when he was violently shaking his tower he was accidentally jiggling the power cord.

The real question is how did he come to find out that shaking his fucking DESKTOP TOWER would fix it?

I was getting angry that it kept doing it to me, so I ended up moving it while it was on once to see what the fuck was going on inside and then it resumed before I touched anything.

I had an old case that was shorting out. If I tapped it with a foot, instant restart. If I moved it only slightly, it'd lock up like that.

Take a time when you don't want to do shit online for a bit and go take everything out / reseat it.

Also check HDD data/power cable connections to both board/PSU and drives, and check to make sure your RAM is seated properly.That can also do it (though if it was RAM I don't think it'd recover).

have you put any thermal paste on the pins of your processor and or actually placed your computer in oil in an attempt to cool it?

If you haven't already, make sure your HDD is still good. (I know others already suggested it, and then more people kept spewing their nonsense) If the HDD is good, then do what that other guy said, take it apart and put it back together again, pay close attention to anything that needs force to be seated (anything that snaps in or gets screwed in).

Considering the problem is now completely gone after changing to a new hard drive, I will conclude that it was a HD issue. I salvaged the data on the old one, just waiting to see it die now.

Well, hopefully you kept the old one and have a gun somewhere.... shooting those things is pretty entretaining...they tend to 'explode'...or at least shatter and send metal everywhere, looks like an explosion... just don't use some pussy ass 22
