I had access issues in 2010 and after going back and forth with them for a week being asked for purchase records in 2006, I sent them photo ID, which matched my billing records on the account so they reset my pw for me. I never send a digital copy of my ID for anything, but my steam account had...

Didn't think PSUs were that fragile. That PSU shipped to me from Newegg. Moved into my case, swapped to his case, and shipped directly to him. Lol.

Yeah, he said a power supply replacement fixed it. Looks like the PSU died in-transit.

Trying to get him to attempt booting it with one stick of ram, but he said he got dizzy when he first opened the lid. LOL. He wasn't able to remove the motherboard 20+4 pin cable to reseat it either. Most likely he will bring it to a local computer shop to figure it out.

No, everything was mounted and connected properly prior to the installation of software. I even disconnected it from one room and brought it into another room to perform several power up tests and ran some applications to make sure I could discover any faults before sending it on the shipping...

I turned it on/off 10 times on my end. On his end, the fans twitch, but it doesn't turn on... -______-

I shipped it to LA this morning. Hopefully it survives the trip. I'll find out in a few hours. It was a gift.
