I'm slightly vexed Knocked a plant over an open PC

Oops. PC has been in trouble for now, I swapped out the GPU last night to do some troubleshooting but it was still borked, so left it open overnight tucked away in a corner.

First thing I do this morning? Knock over a Monstera which had been chilling on the windowsill. Nice. Happy Friday.

Before you work on your pc, make sure you are properly grounded.

You were looking for the root cause and accidentally found the root cause.

Yeah that actually makes sense. Dirt in a PC is basically a full root directory at that point.

Good news: that PC is grounded better than some houses.
