PC Problems you live with

[JurgaBurgaFlintines]

My Pentium D and GT 9800 GT system is super loud. I've cleaned the dust out of it countless times. Such a simple thing as having two chrome tabs open makes the computer go stupidly loud!  :angry: 

[Tie Lightning]

Lights on my Phantom 410 is cool sometimes, but totally not cool when it's time to sleep..

I know this is a super old post but I thought that I was the only one with this problem:D it's even worse when the conputer is on sleep and I'm trying to sleep...blink...blink...blink...blink...blink

It's not really a big problem, but i used different screws for my front intake fan.

[SGM]

Dust still getting inside my case despite all intakes being filtered and I'm pretty sure my case has positive air pressure too. 

Other than that HDD vibrations drive me mad. I have a 5.25" decoupling rig (well, 2) but the WD Black still makes noise on occasion even though it's only in contact with the rubber parts of the rig.

Every now and then my PC doesn't boot properly. Normally when I've been trying to squeeze a few more mhz out of my OC's. Everything will start in my PC, but no output or any power for my peripherals. It'll do that a couple times until my motherboards failsafe will activate due to too many failed boots.

Reading posts with funky fonts on forums... need to add a GreaseMonkey script kill that... <_<

a middle top clicking fan. annoys the sh** out of me. it is off currently, but that means a hotter pc in exchange for silence. eventually i will return it and get a non-clicking one. also, having a blue pc, with a green keyboard. I suppose i will just add afew green lights/parts so neither of them look out of place.

I have a slow laptop and it's running on two screens

[Swndlr]

the blades sketchy battery life ;c

Whenever i turn on m PC I don't get an output but, if I wait a second and then restart it works fine. Never looked into it because I could always get it running it just takes a little longer.

Something happened when I reinstalled windows on my ssd (primary drive) so now it won't boot without this 1tb hdd I also have in it being hooked up and it boots up at hdd speeds.

i get soooo much dust too! all filtered! with + air pressure! i may or may not have just put three more fans in for a -1 air pressure...

Lets see... I love tiddies to bits, best PC i ever owned. But...

 

- My case isn't stable, missing a leg (guess who is entering as many case giveaways as she can?)

- I only have fans on the CPU/PSU/GPU 

- The case has openings in the back where expansion cards used to be

- No "on" light

- No beeps so no warnings if say... the ram isn't all the way pushed in.

- One of the screws on the GPU is rusted. 

- AMD driver crashes regularly

- For some reason the ASUS smart doctor doesn't work at all on this machine so i am using afterburner. 

- Need to restart at least once if using Ae and media encoder

- Pretty sure i got a three way bottleneck (RAM, GPU, HDD)

 

But unless i am pushing it, my girl is quiet.

I had a PC where I changed the hardware and got "This version of windows is not genuine". Wasen't really in the mood for digging up procuct codes and dealing with MicroShaft so I just left it like that untill I installed a new OS years later.

Hearing my hdd writing every little thing while surfing

My old PC that i'm about to be finally free of has a massively long boot time, windows explorer crashes as a part of the normal start up process. Closing too many tabs of google chrome will cause the computer to hang for a moment. Photoshop is incredibly laggy after not too long of using it, all in all this dinosaur of a computer is a nightmare that i'm hoping to put to rest in the next few weeks.

1) using 2 Sata power extension cable together because I didn't buy the 1 with right size.

2) When closing the back panel, I have to force my way though because cable are so tight in there even with cable management...

3) maintenance is a pain in the @** because the PC is kind of heavy and unconvenient to move around.

4) using blue tubing for watercooling does not make any sense with blue coolant since we can't tell the difference.

I need to unplug the power to the back of my monitor and plug it back in each time I turn on my pc and it will only show picture at windows, so when working in bios I need to use my tv

It was under warranty so I took it to samsung and they "fixed it" but it literally only worked once before it went back to the old unplu/replug each time I boot

Good thing is none of my house mates know how to use my computer, muhahahaha

 

Another past problem is no matter what gigabyte mobo I had I always had ram compatibility issues, I am now an ASUS fan

 

Gives me motivation to buy a gsync monitor when I buy my 970 gtx soon

[UNFKNBLVBL]

ohh the other super annoying thing, my mITX build doesn't really have room for a sound card and I have to switch sound output device depending on if I am watching shows on my tv or using my headphones

[rebirth_assasin]

Lack of money for tech

T_T

[dfsdfgfkjsefoiqzemnd]

Mine completely freezes when I copy large amounts of data ( >1.5TB) in one go, usually near the end.  That only started happening when I switched my Gigabyte MoBo for an MSi one.

The workaround is to backup my stuff 500GB at a time.

Noise, steam doesn't have certain ea games,

My external HDD prevents my system from passing the boot screen until I disconnect it. I only reboot when Windows Update needs a reboot or some other installation/uninstallation needs it, so I can live with it.

[SeriouslyMikey]

My HDD rattles like mad. 

[Jens Peter]

My keyboard often switches to other languages, mostly norwegian but sometimes it gets really exotic I have no idea why and I have given up on fixing it.
