I think I blew something up in my machine. This morning I come in to check my ip log from the night before, and all I have is a frozen desktop with the a message telling me that my IP is being duplicated on the network. When I restarted my box, I got a BSOD error (XP) while booting up. On the second try I got my 8500LE BIOS screen and nothing more. Freaked out at this point, I pop my puter open and clear the CMOS and give her another boot. This time I get into regular BIOS. Upon checking my PC Health stats, I'm at 75C CPU temp and rising!!! At this point I panic and check everything in my box for leaks and such and realize that my pump is not pumping and is SUPER hot. Further, I noticed that I'm not getting the typical spark in the relay going to the pump when I turn the power on. I'm going to disconnect the relay tonight and try to wire it directly to the wall, but I think my pump may have bit the big one. At least it has a warranty ... I just don't know how keen they'll be on honoring it since I've done drastic surgery to the power cable. This really p!sses me off, since I was planning on hosting a massive UT2K3 game tonight. *sighs*
