Well Im not terribly upset yet, but apparently there is no tech support on the weekend. My computer would not boot this morning and my mother board would cycle through numbers and give the code EA? I ve tried reseating my Ram without success? Im hoping this is minor?

Post your specs and wait for help. Especially need motherboard model. All other specs might be helpful as well.

The important thing is that she at least 'fessed up to it.
 It gave you the info you needed. Lots of people, when they think they messed up, won't admit it. Just curious for me and others wanting to learn just in case, when you re-seated the ram and unplugged the pc to do it, that unplugging will usually fix a stuck sleep mode. Did you have to remove cmos battery or move reset jumper on mobo to fix bios? Glad it's fixed

 you could try both sleep/hibernate but more times than not your going to have issues with it. Alot of people here only let their monitor turn off after X minutes. By turning off hibernate you can save a good amount of space on your HD(equal to your ram)(really is nice for people with SSD's)

Also post your help thread in the hardware section or tech section, most times some of us don't get the general section as we do the other ones, since general section is just for social discussions we check the other sections to make sure people that have problems are helped first.

If I could post in technical support I would... At this point I have reseated the RAM, and the Video card. The computer will now boot and the monitor will show a picture. I am receiving a message that "Overclocking has Failed" and my computer will not let me check mail due to unsecure internet connects?

Okay I was back to playing Rage and Rift on the highest settings with no issues. Unfortunately, my girlfriend started having issues, I had to suddenly take her to the ER. Not sure what was happening but the ER doctor said it looked like she fell down a flight of stairs... Just kidding.. I made that up.
okay, can I call Monday to make sure my overclock values are in line with how they came? Also what do I need to do to be Verified? I sent an email to the email you linked Alex.
