[vox-tech] failed to build a computer

[Hai Yi]

I didn't use antistatic wrist strap but before the installation I touched
the metal to di-static myself. The components were not damaged, 'cause
eventually I found someone who had similar issues and offered a solution and
it worked, btw, I also tried the approaches he did before the successful
shot, here is the link:
