Computer Oddities

So here's a couple of weird things I've encountered recently with computers.

Problem: Can't boot from CD-ROM
Solution: I had way to many devices plugged into my power supply and it couldn't handle everything. I unplugged a couple of fans, the floppy drive and the black light (yes... the black light) and it booted right up. If I wasn't poor I would get a new power supply... but oh well.

Problem: Computer won't start after moving it around
Solution: The front USB header got smashed and was shorting out. I unplugged the header from the motherboard and away it went.
