What do you do...

It's been FOREVER since I made a thread. Few months?

--- To the point. ---

What do you do when your computer acts up, and resetting doesn't help?

> Just wondering about this. Curiosity kicked in. <

Well I get pissed off at it.
After that I just reset it and wait for 15 minutes while I try to beat spider on medium. *sigh* My stats are 16:2 lose:win. -__-

[~*Red*~]

I get angry at first, then I calm myself down and try to get it working again. If that doesn't work, I usually give up.

[MissAstaire]

I get frustrated, scream in frustration, reset, if it doesn't work I scream in frustration again, reset, still doesn't work I hit the table and leave after yelling things like "I hate you so bad!" and "die, you stupid thing, DIE!" my computer doeant usually like me...

[la_lazy_ninja_princess]

I get frustrated, then i reset it for three time if it doesnt work i give up!

[wolfgirl90]

My computer has acted up in the past, but since I know a lot about computers, I usually try to figure something out. Yay, troubleshooting!!!

.....Yeah, I'm a geek....

If a computer keeps acting up, you should try to compress your hard drive. You would not believe the crap that actually gets caught in your computer. Compressing the hard drive helps the computer sort out the things you need and the things you don't.

Burn it with fire. It is what the cool people do when this kinda stuff happens.

[ThunderBird]

I'd kick the tower and say "I swear, if you don't work the next time I reset you, I'm shoving my foot through your screen" and then follow through. After that, I'd put some ice on my foot since I'd mostly get a few volts up my leg. and THEN I'd buy a better computer

Sacrifice myself to My Dark Lord Cthulhu.

[Lavos]

Sacrifice myself to My Dark Lord Cthulhu.

Seriously, you had to beat me to the Dark Lord comment. Sheesh.

[bluewolfjelly]

Reset it then pray that it works.
Usually doesn't.
Then I get frustrated, and go scream into a pillow.
Then come back and try again.
And it starts all over again.

I get frustrated at first, then use my knowledge to try and fix it. If I'm completely stumped, I get even more angry, and eventually I'll look the problem up on the internets.

[KuroTan]

Berate myself for foolishly downloading pr0n.

[Haoie]

If you took good care of your computer, it wouldn't happen anyway.

[SkYbLuE88]

Normally, i will try it by myself 1st...
but when the thing getting out of my hand, than i will hand it to my brother....
hehehe....

[Happi Giraffe!]

That happened to my compy a few months ago.There was a blue screen of "death" that appeared, and then all of the computer's memory went away. So, it couldn't be helped... But then I got a new one!

[Amray The II]

Never happened. But if the time came when it did then I would do what I always do when I need computer assistance and ask my step-dad. He is a super computer repairman and has never failed once. His computer logic is astounding. Plus, my PC is protected by his super computer which is downstairs, therefore it would be extremely hard for me to recieve practically any simple virus of such.

[poison.ivy]

I'd restart it of course and if that wouldn't work, I'd call my niece's hubby, who's a computer wiz too and ask him for help. At first I'd probably be a bit upset, but I'd calm down soon.

[MissAstaire]

My dad is also a computer person. But whenever I ask him if he can fix something, instead he starts dong all this stuff to better it. Then it takes forever for him to finish cos he's putting more stuff on it and trying to make it go faster and by the time its done I've already been in be for awhile. All I wanted was to be able to listen to a few songs... And in the end, I still couldn't listen to music. *sigh*

[███]

I fix it.
