ok time to chime in with a funy but slightly OT story.
Back when I was a n00b, I would say about 10-12 years ago, I had this old pentium 66 cpu/motherboard. I don’t remember exactly why I had the cpu out of the socket but for some reason when I went to put it back in, I apparently did not seat it properly (it was not facing the correct orientation) but I thought it was OK so I plugged it up and hit power and WHOA SPARKS FLYING HOLY $#!T! so I turned it off and took out the cpu and saw on the mobo and the CPU, 2 pins were fried completely black. Needless to say, it no longer worked. I was stuck going back to a 386 cpu/mobo for my efforts. GG.
