stupid computer problems

have you ever had a tough time fixing a computer? mine crashed just recently and I was having getting a hemorroid(sp check) trying to reload the operating system: first it would freeze when it starts up only showing the background and mouse. then i re installed the drive from a ghost image. it wouldn't even go past the login page. so I tried to repair it using the official xp disk. then the internet wouldn't work! so i said "screw this" and deleted everything and started from scratch. which is where i am now.

So tell all about your computer troubles.

5 years strong no problems with my comp.

hay i think when your system tray takes up half your taskbar its time to reevaluate your computer usage

Nope all there is on taskbar is a lot of photo editing shit a couple games im services and P2P services.

I don't use comp for a lot of shit cause hardly any games run smooth besides starcraft and I can't play bnet for some gay reason it lags. So ya.

oh come on! there's gotta be someone who's had trouble with their computer and wants to talk about it! come on, how about some great tale of frustration! a story of computer violence!...... or maybe a comment or two involving their experiences with a repeated computer problem?

my chassis fan keeps dying so i have to punch my computer to get it going... lol its funny but annoying

Nuts to the fan, use cooking oil.

The last major problem I had was during the Summer. An extremely hard to get rid of Hijacker thingy. We formatted and swapped from ME to XP. No problems since then.

My laptop has half a video card.

how in the world do you have half a video card, and how the heck does it still function?

Hey lenny, I read the article, but what does cooking oil have to do w/ anything? I didn't see that in there unless there's a joke im missing ......

YOu know, I think I've pasted the wrong link. If my computer shows me right, then that is a link to some PS3 news...

That's what it should be.

I had comp problems but i fixed it

That's pretty crazy, Lenny. But does anyone really want their computer parts all oily?

I completely forgot about this.

It's better to have oily computer parts that work better as a whole than a fan that can get all clogged with dust, dont'cha think?

It just sucks if you need to replace a part.

The only problem I've really ever had that was a big deal was trying to get the DNS re-enabled on our 2003 server. It also wouldn't want to talk to the linux firewall so we had to re-configure that as well. It only took a few hours =/

Oh, I'm sure that was lots of fun.
