Well, I opened up my case to change some screws. Thinking this would be a simple job, I did it with the power on.
Well, it was harder than I had expected and my hand slipped and touched the sound card. There was a small pop from the speakers and the computer rebooted. I turned off the power and finished what I needed to do.
When I powered up my computer again, the disk checker came up and there was an error with NOD32 that was fixed. No other errors. When I was in XP, my quick launch was gone and the taskbar notification customizations I made were reset. Both were quickly resolved, but it's strange.
The real question is, did I damage the sound card? It works and the sound quality is like before. What are the symptoms?
