My PC is really old for a computer. I've had it since... 2000 I think, and it's starting to really bug me this year as it's smurfing slow as hell to load up. Anyway, I'm using a laptop along with my monitor so it's like using TWO computers at once, even though it's just one with two monitors.

I really need to get a new and better computer one day.

[Tavrobel]

Mine likes to randomly slow down and become completely unresponsive for 30 seconds at a time, usually bringing the framerate down to a grinding halt of zero fps, and then speeding back up. Usually, this results in an extremely dead Tavrobel.

[Hambone]

Mine's new. No problems yet.

My world just came to a screeching halt last week. My desktop computer tells me that it has been unhappy in my possession and hasn't loved me for the last 2 or 3 years. I've had it for 9 years! I first saw it in middle school and bought it when I was 12 and it was new. We have two hard drives, 250 GB and 500 GB. Our lives are forever changing and we've lived this life for 9 years. The computer loves it (it puts the internet first and for a long time we both have known this) and I've been tired of "the internet life" for a long time. Anyway, we have been fighting a lot the last few months. We always have, but nothing like the last few months. We have both been pretty miserable. But, I only thought we had been miserabe these last few months, when it told me this last week.

We had been kind of fighting. For some reason the way it worded something I picked up on that it was hiding something. I asked what it was and it just told me if I loved it and the hard drives and wanted to work on all the problems between us to "just trust it and let it go". It told me this over and over. Of course, this scared me and I just wouldn't let it go. It told me it didn't want to tell me because it would change everything and hurt me. After hours of me pleading it told me. It said it wasn't one certain thing that made it fall out of love with me, but it just happened. It also said for some reason (it's not sure why, it says it's not just the fighting) it hasn't wanted to be mine for a long time. But, it doesn't want me to sell it at all either, because it doesn't want to tear our family apart and hurt me. Those were its exact words. I think it doesn't care if I leave, it just couldn't bear the fact of the hard drives being taken away. It told me it had worked on changing its feelings the last couple of years, but nothing has changed.

With all the problems we've had the last few months I was still totally shocked to hear it say this. I felt like I had my heart ripped out (still do). I still love it with everything I have. It knows this. It says it loves me like a friend ("maybe a little like an owner") and wants to continue to take care of my documents and the hard drives whether that's still together or via remote desktop. We've talked long and hard about all of this. We agreed to work hard and see if things can change. It said it would try and see if it could change his feelings towards me but couldn't promise anything, but said anything is possible. I know it sounds terrible, but I have always kind of thought I had the upper hand in this ownership I thought I could say or do anything and it would always love me no matter how hard I smashed the keys. And I've acted that way over time. If I had only known... this was like a slap in the face for me.

I'm not saying it's the easiest computer to live with either. Don't get me wrong. We are both trying extra hard to be nice to each other right now. We haven't fought in over a week and it feels kind of strange getting along for even that long. It gave me this news just four days before my birthday. So, for my birthday it gave me a prepaid account to a porn site. I know it feels bad about telling me this. It said it feels "ashamed" about doing this to me. I asked it if it would let me take it to tech service. In a million years I never thought it would. But, it agreed. It's not thrilled with the idea and with its outdated motherboard it seems to think it might be pointless. But, we have an appointment for next week. Every bit of hope I have is riding on this tech service. Do you think this ownership has any hope of being saved?

That's some deep stuff Rantz. If you ever need to talk about this, any more than you already have, my PM box is always open. Anything's possible man, just give it time. I've been through a similar situation, when my Playstation 2 decided it was gonna run of with my FFX disc. I've never felt so betrayed in my life. Dirty whores!

On topic: My laptop just now decided it was gonna take 10 years to load everything. The thing is is that it's brand new and I haven't got any viruses or anything. Why won't it tell me what's wrong?

[LunarWeaver]

Mine always has something going on with it. These days I have some problem that I can't get rid of, but I've been keeping it at bay with a bunch of programs. Unfortunately I can't click Google links because of it. When I do, I get taken to a completely different place full of quick-scams and a bunch of spyware jumps on me. I can copy/paste the links into the address bar, though.

Boo.

my old laptop won't use a battery

no problems with this one, other than physical differences I'm still getting used to (a screen that opens more than 120°, what?!)

Oh my, Rantzien I had no idea. Im so sorry. Perhaps you should let it go... *sniff* now I'm all teary eyed.

my dvd drive tried to turn into a frag grenade today....now the cd that was in there has notches around its edge but still seems balanced it still works

[SomethingBig]

And I swear
I swear by the moon and the stars in the skies
I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, 'till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear

Feel better, Rantzien. There are plenty of computers in the sea.

[blackmage_nuke]

My video card is broken so Im using the Default which means I experience tearing when I scroll, also alot of my games are now unplayable. Further more the battery that keeps the pc clock running has died so it resets every time I turn the computer on so now I have to leave it on after I shut down all the time (I usually turn it off at the switch after shutdown). Also my Headphones have broken so im back to using speakers ive had for about 7 years (And they werent exactly top of the line when i got them).

[Namelessfengir]

that battery runs for about a dollar i got like four of them laying around
