Surely it’s not completely coincidental that after blogging about my new computer workstation, I managed to toast it.
The sequence of events went something like this:
- “Hmm… lots of comments on the Internet about how it’s possible to tweak the CPU I have faster.”
- “Hey, I squeezed out 20% more speed quite easily. I wonder if I can get 33%.”
- “The computer’s refusing 33%… but articles from tech sites say getting 33% or more should be easy.”
- “Computer’s refusing to boot at all… or to be more accurate, it’s constantly rebooting! $#@%!!!”
I thought that modern computers had improved their safeguards against user stupidity like that… but I guess not.
