Default Do you have a trouble free PC?

It seems some people have all the bad luck and have constant problems with their PC, i.e. crashes, instability and data loss.

Is your PC trouble free, or are battling to keep your system running?

It's a Mesh, they are designed to have constant problems?

As for my Laptop (Murdoch copied me & bought the same make!)
Runs well & with a few tweaks will run Vista with no problems, i hope.
It also runs all the software i want on it, can't fault it.

Never had a problem!

I've been using my Rock Quaddra XT laptop for 3yrs 8mths and, like Murdoch's Toshiba, it worked right out of the box - and has continued to do so. It has never broken down (knocking wood as I say that) despite receiving many hours of daily use - actually it amazes me really, because it runs so hot sometimes it's like typing on a toaster

I've been fairly lucky I guess cos I rarely get problems. Apart from when components break down of course, the item with the biggest failure rate seems to be optical drives.

The setup in my sig and my second machine both running good, only problem I have is Call Of Duty 2 doesn't like dual CPU's and freezes online when changing maps sometimes. But it seems that's a common problem, not exclusive to me.
