I rebooted my computer cause I couldn't kill my G15 process that was frozen.

The computer would not boot. The motherboard would start initializing, and get stuck before the Memory Testing.

I took out all but 1 ram stick, tried each slot, no luck.

I noticed the HDD activity light was on. Unplugged all HDDs, no luck.

I cleared the CMOS, which required me taking out my giant graphics card that's a bitch to get out/in, and finding a jumper.

I then noticed my iPod was plugged in, saying "Connected, please eject before disconnecting", instead of acting like it wasn't plugged in. Unplugged the iPod, boom, it booted again.

OIC...that doesn't suprise me one bit. Apple is the work of the devil. Glad I got my iPod for free.

You are so dumb.

You have you MB set to look for a USB HD as priority 1 to boot from.  Therefore, when you had your iPod plugged in you MB was trying to read it in order to find your Master Boot record.  When all it found was an unreadable formatted drive it froze up because it is cheap...lol.  You just need to go into your Bios and disable Boot from USB and that would prevent future issue.

Yeah...I'm 100% sure this is my boot priority:

Hard Disk with OS
DVD Drive
USB HDD

It boots just fine 99.99% of the time. The issue, as I stated, was that the iPod was frozen.
