wtf computer problem

[foxtongue]

I just got the weirdest error message of my life. I just unplugged my computer and all of its components and moved my computer across the room to my new desk and attempted to turn it on after plugging everything back in. Instead of booting up, a pleasant woman's voice said SYSTEM FAILED DUE TO SYSTEM OVERCLOCKING. I replied, "buh?" and tried again, to the same result.

Please, internet, explain this to me! Talking computer? What the heck!

dead battery on your mobo, the one which maintains settings when you unplug

no major hassle, just means you have to reset your bios where such things as CPU speed is set... obviously yours defaulted to something spastic

Yeah, came across this. Says a variant of that. Seems I've somehow got to find myself a burner.

What is taking it out into the desert and slathering it in mud going to do?

Sounds like something Zippy the Pinhead would say!

Zowee! I haven't thought of Zippy in years!

You have a case of desktop gnomes.

I think you might be the most right of all.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that. . .

I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

Terminal case of the creepy.
