Ouch.

I was in agreement with Liderc when I first read your post.
I was all, "Man. She's hardcore!"
"I got hit by a mad cow driving a car but wheres that mobo I'm overclocking, people?"

Not to make light of the situation (ok I am), but I couldn't help burst out in laughter because I literally pictured a real cow behind the wheel of an old VW bug, driving recklessly through the streets of Scotland mooing as it's hitting pedestrians left, right and center while wearing a kilt. Sorry.

Speedy recovery to you, Bex. It does sound like you're doing well. Good luck in getting a replacement board at the right price.

Keep us posted.
