Not being able to acces the bios does not mean that the hdd is dead , wo hdd you should be able to acces it . Might be a dead psu ? Does it make any sound ? Otherwise my guess would go to a loose cable or in the worst case a dead mobo <| sep |> Does the counter with nVidia GeForce ExperienceShadowplayThing work with Origin ? Handy software if you have an nVidia card anyway . <| sep |> How does someone judge distances in a drawing ? I ' ve always wondered this w <| sep |> I ' m not a fan of laws against things like texting or talking on the phone while driving . I prefer we enforce the laws we have and start ticketing people who can ' t drive worth shit . I really don ' t care if the reason you drive like shit is because you just had a beer , are texting , got no sleep in the last four days , or the kids are screaming in the back seat . If you drive like shit , you should be made aware and encouraged to correct it . When we pass laws on what we suppose to be causes and not the actual effects , we miss some causes and punish some people who are driving perfectly fine with those naughty causes . Some people can talk on a hands free call responsibly , others can ' t drive when they pay full attention . Let ' s just focus on patrolling for bad drivers period .
