It Finally Worked!!!!!!

I went to the store tonight to grab a pack of smokes, I was at the counter about to pay and the coolers in the back caught my eye. I decided to walk back there and check out the energy drinks. I was reading the labels for a minute and decided on trying Monster low carb. I've tried Red Bull numerous times to no avail. Opened it up in the car and slammed it back. When I got home, the shadow was getting stronger so I decided to hit the o2 for a few minutes and it semed to take it away. Walked back upstairs, watched tv for a few minutes and it started to come back. I decided to grab my trex just incase. Waited about 5 or 6 minutes and *Poof*, all gone. It has now been over an hour and I feel nothing but hyper as hell. My wife is actually in histarics at the way I've been acting. I am very excited that it atually worked. This has started a whole new ball game and the score is Clusterhead-1 Beast-0
Sorry for bragging but I had to share the news!!
Chris

Looks like you have found yourself a new friend. I hope it keeps working for you.
Now, with all that new energy you have, you can come to my house and do some painting, stain my deck, cut my grass or any of the other projects I started but never finished. 
Good to hear Chris, fingers crossed this keeps the beast at bay for you.

Congrats!!!
BTW, you should have seen me after my first Red Bull... Man, I was up at 4am - and I had taken the drink at 2pm the day before...
If I would take one Wired, I'd probably be up until Christmas...
Lots of PF wishes,
Sanna

This comes to mind. Remember Alex on Family ties when he was cramming for an exam and he started taking weight loss pills from Mallory's friend to stay awake? I get the same visual Chris with you on Wired energy drink.
Take it easy and get your ass here as my projects are piling up.

Awesome Chris. I am new to this and am waiting to try energy drinks. Your post makes me more optimistic.
You're not bragging, I'm not jealous. Very happy for you and encouraged.
Thanks, Dave

no i havent. But these monster drinks seem to be doing the trick. Just had my first hit in almost 24 hours on my way home from the grocery store. I stopped at the crner store again and grabed another one, chugged it, then booted home to my o2 and within 5 minutes on the o2 it was gone!

alright then send it back to the manufac
or google how to flash the bios but I'm thinking that you may have accidentally damaged it with static electricity by not wearing an antistatic wrist strap
or the place that you purchased the part from handled it without an antistatic wrist strap it happens alot
