What's broken on YOUR system?

[eldren]

Like Kez, my mouse won't work without unplugging it, though only when running it through my screen's USB hub.

Back on topic, Internet Explorer won't load Google (Just shows a blank page), has a few other minor issues like that. That, and BSPlayer, if it'll play the file at all, will play the video slower than the audio. Waiting for the rest of my new hardware to arrive before doing an overclocking run and then reinstalling Windows (Trust me, don't try to overclock on an otherwise stable install of Windows - if the overclock isn't stable, it can quite easily corrupt your install. I say this from experience. ).

heh, mirc randomly sets all of my windows to "desktop" mode now, as i did it once to test, and however many times i undo it, it still seems to have saved the one time i tested it, so it does that everytime i start it, giving me 20+ windows rather than one with tabs.
oh yeah, my sound... volume control is buggered. my max volume is 1/3 up the scale, after that its almost silent. never really bothered to figure out what causes either problem, if anyone has would be nice to fix i guess ;/

Hmmm my PC still likes to reboot randomly (been a prob since i built it). its so random i get confused! sometimes goes for a few weeks 100% fine then will have 4/5 days where I cant do anything for more than a few hours without a restart!

Looks like im gonna have to wait till i build another system to cure the problem. Which will be after Xmas sometime i would think.

NForce4, PCIe gfx, A64 and new case are the hopes.

I like to keep a tight PC. Things need to be running and, if not, i'll fix it. I tend not to need to re-install as I avoid experimental stuff and beta programs in the main.

At present my PC runs dandy, though it is all quite new (2 months old) so time will tell. My previous machine ran windows 2000 for over 2 years without needing a re-install...

keyboard sometimes doesn't work without un/replug, on boot

and 2 case fans are b0rked

[Grey M@a]

I have an annoying noise coming from one of the fans in the case. I thought it was the case fans but changed those and its still there. I think its the PSU but cant be bothered to pull the PSU out the case and replace the fans

oh yeah, i can't click links to mailto: in firefox withut errors.

and gaim keeps locking the sound subsystem, spwaning thousands of processes, and dying

I broken the WBEM Service and ask I cant be assed to reinstall OS so I just turned it off (never realised it wasnt an essential service). Also think I might have broken Prime95 as well but it works if I dont fiddle around with the mousewheel.

What version of FF? Might be OE/Firefox arguing over the default client if you've turned off the prompting.

Tried deleting mirc.ini after closing program (mirc caches its ini files).

i doubt it, OE hasn't been near my system for a long time.

bleh im lazy, that would surely entail redoing all the options etc ;\

[Daymonkey]

My mouse is broke i think its time for the bin after 4 years of good service R.I.P MOUSEY.

nothing

and for the record Myth, speaking about illegal software is usually fround upon here.

[Knoxville]

Myth.......monthly format? jesus you need to sort out exactly what your doing if you have to format every month, I'd wager a fair bit more software passes through mine and its been working perfectly with damn near constant uptime for 8 months

[Dave_07]

The usual stuff, annoying cookies etc but the main two are probs a couple of strange things that always show up in the event log. I can't fathum them.

First one is:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Type: Error, Source: PlugPlayManager, Event ID: 11

The device Root\LEGACY_RUSHTOPDEVICE\0000 disappeared from
the system without first being prepared for removal.
------------------------------------------------------------------

And the second is:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Type: Warning, Source: cdrom, Event ID: 51

An error was detected on device \Device\CdRom0 during
a paging operation.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Guess it's just one of them things, or rather two of them things lol

My graphics card fan is making a sound like a washing machine, don't know whats happened there, as for software i'm quite picky about what goes on my machine, and if i have problems with it or it's giving me grief and i don't really need it it comes straight back off again. I do a clean install about every 2 months, i always loose something though, no matter how much you think you have backed up everything it's never 'everything'. Codecs always give me the most grief when doing a clean install, i'm always missing a codec and by the time i have found out which one i need and installed it the time for doing another clean install is around the corner. *sigh*
