Default grr electrical storms
Yeah, so, there have been a lot of storm around here lately, and on one of these storms the power went out for a bit, and when i got home, i turned my machine back on, and the monitor didn't turn on. So i was thinking on no, my monitor died..... and then i thought oh man, did i loose a vid card. No, i didn't i lost a rail of the GPU power supply, i don't even know how that works, i only loose one rail, thats crazy, so anyways, this is crappy.
