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.:thumb:

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 :nod: sometimes it's like typing on a toaster :D

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.

Havent had my new one crash, and its been around for about 6 months. Consistent and reliable.

My old pc was very choppy, but did its job...eventually.

I bought an HP in 2001 and I have never had a problem, and it was run all day pretty much for 6 years, apart from hard drive/ gfx changes etc. Good reliable system.

The other one I built about 8 months ago, so clearly its fine.

Had the odd problem with faulty RAM, but apart from that I've been pretty much trouble free :thumb:

Had an intermittent fan prob on me old pc , fixed it and its run for 4 years no probs .

The £75 fujitsu siemens I got from e-bay and upgraded a bit has been hammered by its 14 year old games playing owner and is running sweetly .

The pc I built for me sister is ok .

My pc is running just great , be even better when I get round to using the case I got from flopps .

Blue screen of death has haunted me over the years and its always been software related (apart from me fan prob) .

AMD and Asus sound as a pound in my book .
