[Cognizant]

Has something happened to you/ your computer recently that makes you just say "Fail"?

Yesterday, I was using my computer in Animations, then Safari gives me the Beachball of death.. Then my animation program..then finder.....then the dock...then any other program I tried to run. I had to do a cold re-boot after my teacher tried 20 times to force quit.

Had to start all over again -_-

[Mortal Coil]

Well, nothing of that magnitude, but my old computer bluescreened about 20 times in three minutes

When the translators of user interfaces do a shoddy job with translating into English. For example, my sister's WiFi controller says "Waiting for Searching". :rolleyes:

[Silicate Wielder]

Well I was screwing around with my Ubutnu live USB and the mouse glitched with partition manager open and deleted both partitions off my laptop. I Facepalmed and was thinking "FAIL,FAIL,FAIL,FAIL..." The rest of the night since i didn't have time to re-install ubuntu or restore the old partitions.

When my friends HP restored itself but couldn't load Windows because of some error recovery...

[Straight]

My whole laptop.

[wyatt]

Opened an MP3 file, and I got a "RPC Server Failed", It opened properly after that though.

[Cognizant]

My whole laptop.
lmao, how does your laptop fail? :P

[Jess]

my laptop failing for the billionth time in a row and me having to use a new computer for the second time >_>

[Rayquaza]

Clicked the start menu, 5 seconds later; "Windows Explorer has stopped responding."

[Joe96]

My old Windows PC. It used to BSOD all the time :(
It was an issue with the drivers for something

[Zarakly]

My IPod, I went charge it, it turned white screen and now doesn't even turn on and you can't see screen but it still has an alram set for the wrong time D:<

[Rayquaza]

Ugh, today I BlueScreen'd. Thrice. FML

[MattVon]

Since my system upgrade, I've yet to have a worthy fail to be recognised.

[Cognizant]

My MacBook, the 2 year old laptop that I paid 1000 dollars for, is super laggy.
I'm pissed because for a 1,000 dollar laptop, the sluggishness must be a joke.

[Amnesiac]

I haven't had one failure on my PC that wasn't caused by my own stupidity or things that were out of my control. Installing City Life on my computer did something sketchy to my system files, so that Windows wouldn't start, but System Restore took care of that. Chrome crashes sometimes, but that's probably because of the sheer amount of memory it uses.

[Skeptical Bear]

My computer has had multiple viruses and for some reason, still gets them after we reboot the computer. I don't know about anyone else in my house but I've stopped going to unsafe sites. It just gets annoying how unorganized my computer is.

[Desuetude]

Saw this thread yesterday and thought "Nope, nothing i can post in there". Today...

Clicked on something and it converted every file to open with Windows Live Photo Gallery, sure enough none of them opened. I facepalmed for an hour and a half at 1am and it being 4am still nothing much has changed -.-

[botwa]

the cooler of my laptop started whizzing and I had to have it fixed.
but before I went to the repairman it heated a lot and turned off automatically to prevent the matrix from burning.

[Pinapple]

My boyfriend's computer loading XP when it doesn't have it installed, it's only ever had windows 7. :L

[Mirage]

After installing Kubuntu, which took like 70 minutes, I clicked the "Skip" button when it was installing language packs. Bad choice. This rebooted the machine without an active linux partition, and the GRUB boot menu redirected me back to Windows XP.

*Sigh*

[TheMatrix]

MS-DOS isn't giving me all of my RAM D:<

[Cognizant]

My MacBook lags when playing HD videos on youtube ):<

[Mirage]

Cydia froze my entire iPod and had to do a hardware reboot.
