How do you react when your computer breaks?

Post Reply New Topic

When my computer fails I take one of two possible options
1) Calmly boot in Knoppix and continue using it
or
2) Curl myself in a corner and cry uncontrollably

I would probably freak out.

But I have never had a computer that has broken, so I have yet to experience it.

I rarely have trouble with my computers, any problems arise and they're usually easily fixed.

swear for 5 min's then fix the prob. lol

It depends, define break better, and I shall reply better.

Troubleshoot the problem by using my Ubuntu live CD to gain access to the internet and solve that problem

I go into extreme meltdown mode and cannot function normally.

Throw it out the window get a large hammer run outisde and smash whats left of it,

I am lucky i havent had that happen to me but as you can see i have it all thought out

Last time my computer broke i took a chair and cast it into the wall. it had been a very bad day even before my pc broke

I'd proberly stand there for 10 minutes swearing at it

Last time my computer broke it failed to power up. It was after I installed another hard drive. I was left to go through my troubleshooting and a good rebuild was the only other option short of removing the CPU and RAM.

I am a technician so I know what to do (Go Linux - ) Just gotta get my sound working in SuSE 11.0 64

I would be disappointed for a few minutes, then would do something else.

I call it a piece of s**t, threaten to throw it out of the window, and then pound on the desk while continuing to swear. Then I get distracted and do something else.

I start to swear at it, then I smash the Windows installation disk. Now I don't wast my time with windows I use Linux I never have had a problem since I have installed it. Linux has last longer than Windows.
