[plug] OT: POST codes for Gigabyte?

[William Kenworthy]

Did you leave the powercord plugged in, and just turned it off at the
case switch?  Did you take precautions against zapping it with static
electricity?  Did you try reseating the memory cards?  And also as
mentioned below by Chris.

There are many and various ways to damage electronics ...
