i think he meant the switch on the psu?

anyway before this post was made, i actually did not turn off my powersupply switch nor did i unplugged the 24pin from the board, i just switched rams havin the orange led on but it still works fine now so i doubt the board is so easily damaged...other boards dont require you to actually power off everything(like your psu and disconnect the 24pin) from the board itself just to change a ram slot or connect another hdd or optical drive.
