How do you react when your computer breaks?

Post Reply New Topic

am have never had a computer break before [apart from viruses if they can be counted,when that ms blaster one came out],but have had them break many times through getting in way of meltdowns,states and seizures.
when have found out have broken them,have gone into meltdown again.
am relie on computers for main communicating via text on screen or TTS,so have seperate insurance for current toshiba lt,will always recommend toshibas for being less breakable,they were at college and this one has had drops on the floor,bangs,kicks etc-still going strong.

Mine took a crap late last month. I was really just disappointed, as I had been looking for a reason to build my own, anyway. Fortunately, my fiance has a computer. Yep, we each have our own machines. I have sharing problems with things like computers.

I'm in the process of building my own now. I'll never buy another manufacturer PC again. They're all a massive ripoff. It's far cheaper to build your own, and you can build it to your specifications. You don't have to pay a premium to some middle-man (the store) for an inferior product with little or no hardware upgrade ability, overclocking capabilities locked, and model-specific hardware that you have to buy, at a premium, from the company should it need replaced.

I react angry!

pulla spare out of the closet and use it until I fix it

I fix it. I have enough spare parts that I almost have a complete second machine. It might waste an afternoon, but by the time the day is out, I will be back up and running again.

Alt + SysRq + R-S-E-I-U-B

If all else fails, hard reset.
