I'm a med student that has used his sthethoscope more times to listen for hard drive clicks than heart beats of sick people.

Usually happens when the disk usage is pegged out or ran out of RAM.

best use for a molex head, trust me.

Sorry, I'm the IRL equivalent of every cyberpunk-technomancer in any media, so I have all that shit.
