I voted "Yes … it’s on 24/7 and I won’t give it a rest. " above.

I used to verbally abuse my computer very often as it behaved like an old dog and had trouble doing literally anything - playing DVDs, games, burning CDs... Then i found the updated drivers for the motherboard and now it does everything i want it to. So the only abuse my PC gets now is overuse!

Surprised

Just surprised to see a results that majority of people are used to hit a computer. Technically speaking does this make any difference in results?? except it hurts your hand or foot.

I never hit my computers, as most of the time it is me, who can't do a job and not the computer. Even if it is due to some hardware fault in computers then it is us who are unable to troubleshoot it at first go. :d

I hit my monitor (Crappy old Belina 14" thing) at the weekend when my PC kept BSOD.
Cause it was brand new and allot of cash I was annoyed at how this could happen a week after I had built it!

Thanks to help on here I have now sorted the problem also it was a software issue, not hardware after all!

I don't have to, I have great machines . If you don't have a great machine, then it's your fault not the comps.

Such thoughts of violence

Dear Ladies, and Gentlemen
I have Hit the books, Hit the Sack, Hit the bottom and come back.
I have Hit a chord, Hit a wall, Hit the bricks seen it all.
I have Hit some people been to jail, but the courts Hit back without fail,
I have been hit, spit, cursed, and dis'ed; yet never by a machine I must insist
So if you find yourself at witts end,
Take a deep breath, I think it's called Zen.
All will be right as rain, without the htting, without the pain.
You have the advanced processor so use it.

Sometimes I have to resort to physical violence because the monitor gets lines across. A quick slap sorts it out

 

[crazylegs]

I used to have a crt CTX 19" and now and again would flicker..a quick clunk on the side of the case would normally sort it.....

My Epson 740 Printer kept chewing up expensive photo paper. Did everything that Epson Support suggested. 2 weeks out of guarantee. Took it out on the concrete drive and reduced the height of it to about two inches with a sledgehammer
Sent the picture to Epson Support saying I have done my very last "firmware reset" and bought a Canon.
No regrets. A very therapeutic experience actually, highly recommend

Recently changing a processor in my machine, from a small 800mhz to a wopping 1ghz I may have stabed the motherboard with a screwdriver trying to get the heatsink back on. Now the dame machine wount work. Having to use a work pc with a very impressive 400mhz.

P.S. Will someone please lend me £500 to build my new pc?

Hi new poster.
NO I DONT
Anyway I dont have too. A bullet fragment came through the house and put a good crack in my new LCD monitor. Thats one of the reasons that I packed up and moved to a smaller town.
had to patch up about 8 bullet holes in my trailer, I cant fix the monitor, but it still works. Just have to look through the damage.

 

[tellboy]

I don't mind the occasional virus but bullet holes in my PC no thanks

Albuquerque NM USA.
The TV show COPs used to be made in my hood.
Sometimes I saw my street in that show.

Well..... Since I built the thing, it would be very rude of me to kick/thump/shoot it

at certain times with customers machines, I have been VERY tempted, but I then have to remember that It's not mine, and I should leave it alone.

Now... if its cars we were taking about.................

 

[chelseafc2005]

my keyboard has been thrown across the room several times, it is unfair on the keyboard as it is something eworng with the software *cough*windows*cough* also my comp has had a few kid boots in the side of the case but it hurts the bare foot more thna it hurts the comp lol

 

[HaspWinder]

I yell at my computer for being slow, but that is mainly when the server goes down, and I want to yell about it.

 

[mudfrog]

I've been tempted to but like has been said "Garbage in, Garbage out"
