What are your worst/most embarrassing computer moments weather it be with hardware or software?
OK mine happened last September/August, My mother got me a Win TV PVR 150 for a birthday present (internal PCI) This was my first time ever installing anything in a computer that is a card (I had installed a 320GB HDD) I took out the card and put it in the computer and I didn't have the card in all the way and I turned on the PC to test to see if the card worked. Everything was going well until the card fell out of the slot and I heard a pop and smoke was coming from my PSU... Luckily the only thing damaged was the PSU and the card worked fine. But I learned that day to always make sure the card is in tight.
Anyways share your worst/most embarrassing computer moments here...
