$&+@%$! Blue Screens

[doren]

Is it a laptop or desktop PC?

The thing I like about a desktop is the cup holder that slides in and out. That's neat.

Another techie like me I felt silly though when I found out it was a holder for a Pringles can sseeessh

[crashdive123]

Huh......and all this time I thought it was a toaster. No wonder it didn't work.

Well that explains a lot!
I thought it was a tray, to hold my ham sammich, but the other day, I bumped it and it tried to eat my sammich.

I no longer have a Pringles holder, but that %$#@! didn't get my sammich!

Seriously, get a Mac.

I have two at home as well as 2 pc's plus the ones at work.

Every time I get on one of the pc's I remember why I like a Mac. Once you get one you'll never go back

I think I'm gonna' do that. Except I'll have to use another computer to order one on-line, 'cause this piece of $hit is gonna' crash again any second now......

Ken have you ran a virus scan or a spyware scan crashing like that acts like a worm or virus. I had a similar problem with my notebook it took a $125.00 virus cleaning and file reload to fix problem and it still runs a little slow on start up and shut down.

Yeah, Soldier, I've tried everything. All the latest anti-virus software on-board this baby. I'm on an HP Pavilion Laptop that's about 2 years old. I figure it has over 12,000 hours of use - "on-time" that is. It's dying. I killed it.

[crashdive123]

Well Ken - just to show you computer problems hit everywhere...watching the 11:00 news and during the weather - yep - computer went down. The meterologist was none too pleased.

[Ken]

My computer musta' crashed 30 times yesterday, and the internet at least 100 times. This morning started off the same way yesterday ended.

So today, I brought a spare one home from the office (Vista ) and set it up in my office at home. Two hours and not a single crash. Maybe my disposition will improve - an imperceptable amount, but still an improvement.

Gonna' let the kids use the old laptop for BB gun practice tonight.

Then I'm gonna' do a Q.C. analysis to find out how well it survives being smashed on the boulders in the back yard.

[crashdive123]

Isn't there anybody you can sue?

[Ken]

Isn't there anybody you can sue?

I could start with the UPS guy who delivered it to the house..........

Another happy camper . As to disposition, is a machine, not a miracle maker

Remember to keep the hard drive when you dispose of it. Don't want your dark secrets to get out . I don't use the wipe programs, I disassemble and use a belt sander on the hard disk, crude, but an absolute destruction is assured.

I still have everyhard drive I've ever used. Hit 'em with a blow torch, dumped 'em in salt water, and crushed 'em. And I liked THOSE computers.........

just went back to this thread. You just answered the problem(s) 1. HP pavilion. I used my old one for target practice and bought a compaq. 2. computer probibly has windows vista there are natorious problems between the two. 3. age man a two year old computer is like comparing a blue ray to a beta max. I agree with replacement with a mac my next one will be.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

No thanks on the pink knife virus you can keep it. I am on an HP Pavilion desktop still using Windows 2000 though. Going on 3 yrs and no issues. Just don't click on the pink knife links.....
