since there seems to be quite often threads like "help!! my computer is fucked!!"... just out of curiosity, a little poll (i hope it won't bring me bad luck): · how often does your computer simply crashes (so you have to restart it)? · how often does your computer have serious problems / how often do you have to reformat it? · how anxious would you say you are about computer problems, on a scale from 0-10? |

for me: · maybe two times a week... not too often now · two or three times a year approximately · very anxious... 9 |

· how often does your computer simply crashes (so you have to restart it)? Maybe once a month, or less. · how often does your computer have serious problems / how often do you have to reformat it? Generally only when I upgrade operating systems or get a new computer. · how anxious would you say you are about computer problems, on a scale from 0-10? Zero. I know what I'm doing and I have offsite backups. |

once a day once a month (it runs better) 4 |

Format once a month!? Crap! I'd go insane. Do you get a lot of spyware and viruses and things? What OS, Browser, and antivirus are you running? How many icons are in your tray? |

Well, it used to screw up like once a day, it woud go to a screen that said something like "HARDWARE FAILURE" and I would have to reset it. That usually happened most often while watching porn downloaded from Kazaa.* *Note, I no longer use kazaa, or download porn, and that I'm using Windows XP Professional. |
||||||||

Never crashes on me. I reinstall Windows with a format, about 3 times a year, or when I think it needs it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As to anxious about problems, I just don't have the time to be dealing with silly problems with the computer, so I'd rather not worry about little niggles, I'd just blank the damn thing and reinstall it all. No point searching for a needle in a haystack (so the saying goes)....when I reformat and reinstall will fix it. I'm quite happy that my PC is reliable. |

Doesn't take long to re-install once you've backed up (and that can take minutes if you keep your personal files in an orderly manner). I'm going to write a script to reinstall major software automatically so that I needn't even type shit in while waiting... |

before I installed xp I had no problems, now that I have, I've had nonstop maliware, adware, viruses, trojan and other fuckups, my computer crashes every few hours, I've reformatted about 5 times in the last month, I'm anxious of porblems probably 8 out of 10 I want windows 2k again :( (but I can't get my video card working under it) |

my computer (amd athalon 750mhz) crashes about 1 time for every 2 hrs of serious music production use. i compensate by constantly hitting ctrl+S to save. this makes me vary anxious. the newest problem i've been having is, i'll be working and my computer will spontaneously restart. no warning. just *click* restart. it sucks. but i just try to save often. untill i can buy a new setup. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hardly ever about every 3 years not worried anymore now that i know how to fix most probs, or at least i know people who can help me, 1. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i format my harddrives probably three times a week i guess. nothing too bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i have a new mac with Panther OSX so: never crashes never serious problems never reformat 1/10 |

· how often does your computer simply crashes (so you have to restart it)? -never · how often does your computer have serious problems / how often do you have to reformat it? -never · how anxious would you say you are about computer problems, on a scale from 0-10? -anxious, never. |

and yes i am running windows xp..... just a matter of keeping backups that u can roll back to...and not accepting every script that the porn sites want you to run on your system |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i do remember the windows 98 days....crashing every 60 minutes i am pretty happy with win xp i gotta say...just have to get used to it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i'm running win2kpro myself and so far no probs, but i think that's also due to the fact that i'm not a dumbass who accepts all those scripts and programs the sites offer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*never *NEVER EVER had to re-format *slightly anxious, because I wouldn't ever want it to crash (not that it'll happen) i'm SO glad I own a mac with OS X 10.3.2 ;) |
