Most Strange/Frustrating thing ever...

I tried switching my KDE 3 theme w/ the options available in the configuration center. Halfway through the transformation, KDE crashed. No matter how times i restarted, when i tried to log in, it would crash at the splash screen. It kept spinning the harddrive and using the cpu... Then out of no where, my garbage AMD chipset starts smoking and poof! I lost my motherboard.

Any ideas other than the obvious? AMD SUX? I'm a moron for not purchasing an intel chipset..? Most definitely! :?
