Sorry

Lols AB isnt actually referring to the actual chip - that couild very often survive a fall onto a carpet. I ahve dropped chips loads of times and they dont break easily. AB dropped the whole system case.

AB many moons ago a slightly agrieved ex decided to torture test my brand new PC with a hammer. I had to throw the case away but the hard drive and motherboard actually survived. So as Amen has pointed out it it may be something less serious............ but then again it may not. And the machine may have gone to PC heaven!

RIP Di's PC!
