Is there anything wrong with your computer?

[TheTygerfire]

I've had my laptop for about 2 years now and I've had minimal problems other than a few viruses (one made me wipe my hard drive however...)

Currently the only things wrong with it is that my right hand shift key is broken because of a botched keyboard cleaning endeavor, and when my screen is black there are two milky dots in the LCD which are probably a result of me lifting the whole computer by the screen one too many times.

Oh, and my disc drive useless, I have no idea how that happened though.

Yes

My computer used to run games like TF2 and Left4Dead fine but now it has frame rate issues all the time. I probably broke something inside my computer but I'm to lazy and stupid to figure out what is broken.

Not with my brand spank-me new desktop!
But with my Laptop it has seemed to fail turning on... at all. Also there is jam in the keyboard and I once came home drunk poured milk on it and pissed on it.

yes. i'm missing the 0 button of the keypad. also my speakers on button has to be taped down. in addition, if the speaker wires touches the computer back it genertaes fuzz.

I have some garbage left and can't access some functions easily... Also, is pretty slow-loading. But that'll change as soon as I upgrade RAM.

I apparently have an invalid copy of Windows XP, and a damned update keeps annoying me about it and has even removed my background.

Not since I had the motherboard replaced, no. Lovely machine, which is unfortunately 6 months or so from being replaced. Well, not really, it will just move room and become the family computer, instead of my gaming machine.

Yes, the best game my computer will actually "run" (and I'm using that loosely here) is Rise of Legends, and even then it lags so much that the game is only barely playable.

Ooh, I have a good one thta no-one will be able to figure out! If I watch full-screen flash videos for long periods of time, my computer breaks. The screen becomes full of artifacts and just plain screwy. If I get out of fullscreen, everything seems fine for a few moments (Except for the cursor, which is still screwy), before everything goes black and I am forced to do a soft reset.

I've already tried all the standard stuff, updating drivers, etc, etc.

Also, I'm not sure, but I think I had this problem before I got my current graphics card. Maybe not though.

I once had it. 5 minutes of googling and it's fixed.

my compputer has a tendancy to spazz out while I'm at school, but I haven't been able to determine if it's because of my college's shitty internet service, or if something's wrong with my computer.

It's probably got a virus though...damn limewire.

This is very... interesting.
Exactly how drunk were you?

It seems to attract viruses at a alarming rate, even when I don't download anything.

Since I upgraded my computer, Microsoft thinks I have an invalid copy of XP as well. Now I have to reformat every 29 days or it will lock me out. Calling their help line just initiated an infinite loop of "I'm sorry, it's a tech problem, not an activation problem. Let me transfer your call" "I'm sorry, it's an activation problem, not a tech problem. Let me transfer your call" and no one would actually help me. I hung up the third time they redirected me to the same person.

If that's the same as my problem, 5 minutes of googling just forced me to have to start my reformat cycle early, as all I got were viruses. More of an annoyance than a problem. If you could direct me to a trojan free site, I would be eternally grateful. If not, no biggie, 7 will be out by the end of the year, I'll probably get that.

The fan isn't running particularly great. it's a design fault putting the fan on the underside of a laptop...

 

[hopeneverdies]

My PC has trouble running anything on the Source engine, for 5 seconds it works fine and then the fps slows down a lot.

 

[sirdanrhodes]

I have a fucking back catalogue of issues with this piece of shit, too many to say.

AVOID THE ACER ASPIRE 5720.

My monitor has a single dead pixel and that's about it. I take good care of my precious babies. (Back up files and dust out the interior every month and reformat every 6.) Now if only I was this careful around human babies.

Vista. The wrongest of the wrong things with my PC.
