PSU is dead... great, it just decided to break, the PC turns on for about ohh.... a minute, then the USB ports die, any soon after it freezes.

try turning it off and back on again.

Epic.

My SATA controller is knackered, my comp locks up regulary and spazzes on boot D:

Mr obvious himself.

Heh, last PC;

Broke CD eject wire, so eject button doesn't work.

Laptop;

Random errors, jumpy cursor, randomly boots up, other things.

Old family PC;

Broken many a time, overclocking problems
Selecting every icon (of a lot) on the desktop, pressing enter, format and reinstall

my computer: no problems.

oh wait, it has norton installed, my bad.

Mine's fine except this windows operating system it's running. It's a virus of some kind and i think i'm gonna go delete system32 and hope that gets rid of it.

Turns out RAM was faulty. And for some reason it was loading stuff onto the ram, till my PSU decided to go all FAILSAFE and shut my PC down.

buying new speakers is definitely the solution.

Phantasy Star Universe lives on!

install it with a 4 cylinder engine for more raw horse processing power!!

4 cylinder, budget pc world bs . 8 cylinder is where it's at!

V6 tbfh 5L as well.

give your PC a spoiler

neon lights as it's actually possible. gives you loads of street cred.

I have 3 blue neon lights, and one yellow, one at the front prints the case name on the floor, then one on the front fan, one on the back fan, one at the side prints a moving circle image of a fan on the wall.

Pimpd up yo

Neon lights are so bog standard basic now, i laugh at anyone who DOESN'T have them here(since the shops here employ bigger geeks than this community combined, so they actually have good service, prices, and warranty plans)

I don't have neon lights, as I don't think it makes anything look cool . I will invest in a lava lamp sometime though because those are awesome! ;d

I WANT A LAVA LAMP!!! xD

Nah, only problems with PC's...

HDD Death on the first, then the big PC's mobo died randomly, wouldnt boot at all, not even to the beepy stage...

My laptops screen has basically broken off, it now lives in a drawer at home with the lid sticking out, I accidentally messed up the graphics on this one, had to reset and restart and stuff... other than that, no tech usually dies on me...

On my old computer, one of the fuses on the PSU broke or something like that, it cost £5 to replace, this is the only hardware damage suffered from any of my computers.

yes, lava lamps are awesome!

You guys are lucky, the amount of PC breakdowns i have makes people think i bring a hammer to them.

Or a shotgun.

Cryptic references ftw.

Valve Hammer?

Shotgun, when referring to the EP2 car (that I can't remember the name of )?


And Schlurbi has interesting blue neon. Mmmmmmm.

Think more.... british, and a bit more... BBC(it's a really cryptic reference, if anyone gets it it's gonna be weird).

Anyway, calling "shotgun" means you just take the front passenger sit, i don't know what the point is but eh.

cos if zombies invaded the planted the front seat passanger gets the shotgun ;d
