Hum,
that was a bit excessive huh?

But i sense that if you reseat the ROM chips then you may revive the computer...






[It`s possible to mimic that screen with a nuclear EM pulse, though]

Hum,
 and the `fun` doesn`t stop there...
Let me tell you of my unhappy  `experience` with increasing clock speeds...

i once managed to create rift in the space-time continuum by  overclocking my 2600 MHz Athlon at <snip - edited due to safety  concerns> GHz.  
Overclocking is generally understood by all to be a bad thing for the CPU and Motherboard (and it may even add to global warming), so you see, it is understandable that i haven't recreated the experiment again...

i guess that the  CPU clock cycle was operating so fast that it began to execute instructions before they arrived.  This execution of future instructions created a small tear in the fabric of space-time itself .

Luckily the Asrock motherboard was fitted with a COP chipset heat monitor that cut off the power supply, and also by virtue of going so fast being able to travel backwards in time, to just before the rift was created.

So, no embarrassing call to the insurance company...though i doubt that they would cover time- travel and  cracks in space-time.

i did a quick `google` for similar results, but revealed nothing, but i suspect that this is not a one off case;
 hum, very strange, (thought  hesitate to  cry government cover-up).

Anyway, i`ll leave you to draw your own conclusions...
