So, sad news. :( I finally got around to getting everything back hooked up and everything (ended up just cutting off the offending PCIe x1 slot)...and I think the MBB is dead now... :( So, once my...

Cool, thanks. I just need to find the drawer unit that has all my LC stuff in it...hmmm...it might be out in the workshop...grrr, that is one problem with moving. :P

No, of course not, that was the first thing I checked...right?... *looks closer at blue marks on block* ...hmm, they do appear to be...but there are no drip... *looks at blue marks on NB HS/F* ......

Yeah, since (I think) the problem originated with the sound card, I think I'll call them again later and attack it from that direction instead (this time I went to the MBB people). I figure...

Hmmm, so, not impressed so far....

I could understand it if something had somehow gotten in there or there was a new, faulty...

Hmmm....so as it turns out, Asus' warranty service kinda...sucks...well, at least for their audio cards through Newegg anyways. :( As it turns out, Asus only does RMA service directly for their...

Well, I thought I'd give it a try and start it up today...it actually did work properly...right up until the PCIe x1 slot caught fire 2 seconds later. :( ..I think I have a short in there. :P Well,...
