I had an E6750 that was unstable without an overclock, strange machine that was. Quick, but strange.

I once had an HD6450 that would be unstable at even 1Mhz over stock. It was passively cooled, and a low profile single slot card, that idled at about 60 degrees...

Likely just a missing driver then, that happened to me with my laptop as well, finding and installing the right driver fixed it.

 

 

For me, one of my monitors will turn off and back on if I hit my desk a certain way.

 

My laptop also doesn't understand how to properly restart windows (7 ultimate 64bit), so I have to shut it down then power it on manually if I want to restart it, otherwise it just hangs at a black screen between the windows 7 shutting down screen and the bios .-.

I've actually tried that before with countless drivers. It just shows up as an 'unknown device'. I tried to configure it, but nada. I'm pretty tech savvy and I've seen enough signs to just accept it as a charge-only hub. But again, at least I have plenty of other slots and 2 hubs I can plug in.

I won't know you're talking to me unless you reply/quote me.

Odd, I had to download some usb driver from AMD (laptop uses an AMD cpu and gpu) to make it work.

My old 2008 HP Pavilion a6745f with AMD 2 core 2.6 GHZ 5050e with 4GB of DDR2 800MHz ram and Vista 64 bit, well the programs will stop working. I can usually wait and it gets back to normal in a moments time. Rarely will it totally crash or be too long. Then I just Task Manager the programs that are not responding to close. This is my biggest pet-peve. I always thought it was Vista fault, with everyone saying how crappy Vista was.

 

Another is when I close all internet, and run CCleaner and there is a hidden internet running and CCleaner asks me to force it closed.

 

I have stopped programs from starting on startup. I use CCleaner all the time, and Malwarebytes free version, I used to use MSE but thought maybe that might be an issue.

My laptop has this issue where the USB ports randomly stop working and the laptop is so pathetic that once a year, Windows refuses to start and gets stuck at a black screen for hours and I have to press the self destruct button on the laptop (it deletes everything and reinstalls Windows). Also plugging my phone into front panel usb on my desktop causes my PC to have a seizure because the phone keeps getting disconnected and iTunes pops up and glitches out causing my screen to flash black and wierd stuff to happen.

the slow response is probably due to a shitty 5200rpm HDD ... I had a few Pavilions and they were really the worst laptops I ever had. They would lag balls even after a fresh install. Got rid of one and was genuinely happy when the second one died! xD

Hmm.

 

-When I turn my computer on, it turns on for a second, shuts down, and then turns back on again and runs normally.

 

-GPU has a singular failing vram chip that only causes issues occasionally

 

-Computer occasionally stumbles like it's about to crash despite being stable

 

-Windows doesn't like it when my ram is OCed above 2GHz, and only recognizes 3GB of it, but works with benefit sometimes

 

-Temperatures fluctuate wildly in relation to ambient temperature (20c ambient 27c idle, 25c ambient 45c idle)

 

Little things, I guess.

My audio is a maze of issues

To begin with my Bluetooth adaptor will not recognise the headphones after the computer starts up, so I have to restart the Bttray program to get it working.

Secondly If I don't set the default audio device to HDMI prior to connecting the headphones the audio sounds like I am drowning the headphones.

Thirdly the headphone may not output audio if I don't press the play button on the headphones.

Lastly the headphones will sometimes sporadically mess up and output garbled audio for no reason requiring me to close all audio outputting programs and reconnect headphones

My new hardware quirk after replacing my cellotape is now bent screws:

I overtightened one of the cable ties. Oh well, its only a screw.
