so my computer works again... - kinda...

[GonzoStyle]

the new ram made it work...but i have a feeling i may have sorta fucked my CPU lol. i sometimes get "system failed due to CPU overclock" on startup even though it isnt overclocked. it starts fine anyway. it also decided to stop working when i hooked up the storage HD, so i disconnected it and it still didnt work...but now it does again. asshole thing

for posterity.
