I shutdown my compy, flipped the PSU power switch, and swapped out hard drives. When I booted it up everything went normally and I saw the Windows 98 (heck yes) splash screen before turning around. When I turned back it was stuck at a black screen, so I hit the reset button. After that it wouldn't get past the memory testing in the BIOS. I turned it off and swapped the hard drives back, but when I turned it back on it still wouldn't get past this (after mem testing comes the IDE drive detection). After clearing my CMOS and booting back up it gave me a "CMOS Checksum Error" and I hit F1 to continue. I've reset the CMOS before and it has never done this. When Ubuntu loaded up I started surfing some pages before it hard froze. I worked some SysRq magic to reboot it, got back into Ubuntu, checked some logs, and found some network related daemon thinger was giving me some errors. I reinstalled it and everything worked fine after that. I haven't rebooted yet, though. So, here's my question:
Why?
