Brushes With Death

     Here are some close calls that happened while in the process of overclocking. If you have one, please send it to me!

Name: Chris Lambert
Computer Type/Speed: Blue & White G3 400MHz
Overclocked to: 450MHz
Story: Well, it wasn't really all that big a deal, but it was pretty scary at the time.  I was trying to overclock my computer.
I opened it up, and removed the jumper cap...but I didn't shut down.  My computer froze.  Oh lord, was I nervous.  "Did I
touch something on the motherboard?  Maybe it was just a random freeze," I thought to myself.  So I cut the power and
tried to restart with the jumper cap still off. (I didn't know that the  jumper cap had to be on.)  I heard the bing, but nothing
showed up on the monitor.  I was ready to die.  I thought for sure I just flushed 2 grand down the crapper.  I tried to restart
again, same thing happened.  I was sweating now and couldn't stop shaking.  Finally, I thought to put to cap back on.  So I
did, and it started up fine.  But when that baby wouldn't start up, I thought my life was over, heh.  I guess you had to be
there for it to be scary. : )
