Ok, this one is rather bad.
When I was first learning how to assemble computers I had a slight problem with my sound card. I had just re-assembled my first computer (just to put it into a new case) and for some reason my speakers wouldn't work. So I re-opened my case and started messing with my card. Because of my inexperience I really didn't know what to do exactly...so I kinda took one of the small 4-input female connectors from the power supply (the ones that hook into 3.5 floppy drives) and sorta thought that I should connect it *to* the sound card via a few prongs on the outer edge. Needless to say, a few moments later my computer completly shut down, and attempts to restart it ended up with absolutly nothing. Seems like the connection had sent a surge through my harddrive and burnt out the control board.
Yeah...from then on I made it a point to not do anything that was risky and/or that I didn't know about while in my computer.
