The 'I'm gonna beat your screen to smithereens' Technology Frustrations thread.

I dunno if we have one of these threads, couldn't find one anyways. Needed though!

My laptop right now is being a complete and utter c**t. Won't go past the initial grey start up screen with the apple logo. Just sits there loading FOR-E-VER. Trying troubleshooting at the moment, but nothing so far.

Anyone else had this problem with a mac?

I really just wanna throw the thing. I hate when computers do this. F***ing fu**ed up piece of sh*t.

My computer is the slowest piece of sh*t out! Makes weird noises from the tower when it has 2 programs up because it's on 'overload' () and then just stops working for a few minutes then goes back to working and then slows down again and then acts normal then fucks up again!

F***ing hate it.

Still works though right?



No, I know that frustration. Sometimes that's worse than a computer not working at all, as you waste so much time and patience waiting for it to load just a simple word program or something! I'm really hating on computers right now.

Really appreciating my iPhone now though

Stay off the porn lads.

Oh noes bigv, no more FM?

Love the way work still has computers with Windows 98 on, and were now on Windows 7....also the computers are as old as me!!

Some one want to explain to the RAF about modern technology??? Ive tried loads and keep on seeing tumbleweed rolling across the room

So, erm, Macs are boss then yeah?

I feel your frustration my friend. My Sony Vaio is 3 years old, and it's still being quite friendly. Was tempted to get a new one at Christmas but held off, and haven't regretted it.

But on your behalf: f***in c**t of a tw*t shithead f***in F**k computer! F**k it, the c**t. Minge.

No one with macs I know has had any problem like mine so I dunno. I still live the thing as far as how it works, but this kind of thing certainly doesn't bolster my confidence in them. We'll see when it hopefully gets fixed.

And the last part: Cheers for the F***ing support, very F***ing appreciated. F**k.

Once they go mate, they don't get fixed. That's the problem. You can't trust them ever again. You only love them until they get to Critical Blue Screen Stage fu**ed. Then it's over.

It's over, baby.










Go on now go.
Walk out the door.

Go on now go.
Walk out the door.

was expecting you to break into a rendition of "I will Survive" there mate 

I have warranty, so I'm gonna try, baby

Just the thread I was looking for!

Ok, so that's the fifth time since yesterday that my RAM has given up. It just suddenly stops working and the computer crashes and shuts down.
I am having to remove and re-put the RAM again and again. I haven't been able to get past that one Lyon game on FM till now, and I have already played it thrice.

If I recieve a message on facebook chat the whole system will freeze. Ridiculous!

My computer took over an hour to start the other day and now it thinks it's 2008.

That's the same for everyone. Takes 5 minutes just to show what they typed! FFS. It's so sh*t.

And when someone replies on Facebook chat, if your typing on another site you have to click outside that typing box to be able to type again because its frozen!

F**k Facebook.

My computer took over an hour to start the other day and now it thinks it's 2008.

Doing it again only this time I can't do anything on it.

Showing 2008 as in? Surely you can change the settings for time and date?

Whenever I play Need For Speed: Carbon, I can only play it for an hour, then the game crashes.

Piece of sh*t.

People seem to think thay Apple or Macs in general are immune to viruses.  That is a very bad misconception.   Good computers, the tech side is very strong and reliable. However they can get viruses.  What you describrd seems to be an issue with the Hard Drive or another H/ware component.  Their is obviously a corruption in the start and boot process.  I dont have a Mac and have never used one for a considerable amount of time.  I would atempt to boot to a safe mode and run a system diag.  

1. It should give you a straight up answer on a H/ware issue.  If the H.drive or CPU is corrupted or bad.  It should not allow aboot to the safe mode.

2. If its a virus or malware, then in safe mode you should be able to run anti virus and a malware program.  If you cannot get to the AV program.  Find a working computer. Download a AV program directly to a thumb drive along with other programs and boot it directly from the thumb drive.  If it still doesn't work I would contact Apple and see what they say. Try www.cnet.com go to their download link and it should be able to provide the correct program for you to use.  Make sure it is apple compatible.

So I took my mac in to be fixed, hopefully 5-7 days. Sounds like it's serious, just hoping they don't have to wipe the hard drive.. Couldn't really afford the $90 back up fee. So fingers crossed!

I'll be so pissed if I lose my Football Manager career!!!

A mammoth document that took me ages to write, I'm talking at least 2 hours 30mins, I finished it, saved it and bloody e-mailed it, to where it needed to go. Ther person never recieved their e-mail, it's not in their inbox, or my sent items, or anywhere! It's not in my documents, can't find it using the search function....MY F***ing WORK HAS JUST F***ing VANISHED!!!

F***ing knobhead, these F***ing things are F***ing wanky sh*t stains.

We have a hi-speed router that is usually connecting us with no problems - apart from today.

Usually it'd connect everyone in the house at roughly 300Mbps (high-speed), and keep everyone's signal constant. Not today.

Today what happened is it connected people, then the signal would drop down from 300Mbps to 1Mbps (unworkable) in a matter of seconds.

I tried everything - hard resetting, unplugging, changing the WEP settings, and nothing worked. Then I remembered I had an old high-speed relay router from a few months back.

Eventually I figured that if the router was feeding the relay router a signal, the signal towards the devices from the relay router would be constant, thus giving everyone a connection. And my theory actually worked! Couldn't be happier right now!
