Behold she's alive! I have revived her!

It turns out that Msi has a local rma office for me so I can swap for a new board tomorrow after work. I will let you all know how it turns out.

As much as I said I won't be buying Msi motherboards again, it is really nice to be able to drop off my rmas locally.

Never say never!!
(like i did )

That is some great service
. . . and i see some possible overclocking again in your future

I guess I might as well overclock. If it blows up again it will be an excuse to upgrade.

How?? With a defibrillator?!?

I actually failed.

Msi didn't have stock of my motherboard so now I have to wait 2 weeks for them to ship me a replacement. I wish they had just given me a different board that they had in stock - I need to file my taxes.

Maybe it's metaphysical.. I remember you saying that you wanted a break from the computer for a short while (to go outside, etc). Just try to enjoy your "vacation" (at least make the best out of your time). My brother keeps on telling me that he's the happiest when he does not have a TV or even a computer (which is hard to believe)! Oh well, good luck SB!

Thanks.

It's good timing in some ways, but not in others. It's just frustrating that the process has to take 2-3 weeks.
