A PC-related problem I have is a RG6 cable on my modem thats gone bad. every once in a while it will cause the connection to crap out, and i have to directly connect the modem to the wall outlet, reset it, and quickly replace that cable with the crappy one on the splitter. its super ghetto, but i don't have the time or energy to find a proper replacement suitable for internet.

My 7970M won't go past 1000 Mhz, even with some slight overvolting..

(though I guess the real problem is that I'm overvolting in a laptop....)

 

This isn't really a problem, but I'm going to have to live through it for a few days.. I just bought a Logitech G700s (works perfectly), but its feet are a lot slicker than my old mouse, so I keep pushing my mouse way to far and I completely miss what I was trying to move towards. (Played one round of BF3 last night; I lowered the sensitivity, but I still missed pretty much everything... I did terrible.)

i7 not perfectly stable at 4.4.. #firstworldproblems

G19 loses connection when putting a heavy load on my External Hard Drive.

So many things I could write here... things like this.

My samsung 840 gets shitty speeds of 300mb/s. I don't know why. I did everything right I swear, but it doesn't work. I given up already, 300mb/s is plenty.

 

Also my 1333mhz RAM is holding back my CPU from overclocking alot.

3 entire minutes? Do you make a coffee or something while you wait?

Actually thats pretty normal if you count the bios starting up and all that. I have an SSD and it takes a minute.

My CPU overheats and throttles during one level on Crysis 3 so I had to revert to stock clocks, beat that level, then reapply my OC.

My computer mostly runs on my SSD. I have my music on my HDD. Sometimes I pause the music, the hard drive turns off. Then I decide to listen to it again, have to wait for my HDD to turn on.

Also, Windows.

Go to Power Options -> Change plan settings (for the one you're using) -> Change advanced power settings -> Hard Disk -> Turn off hard disk after -> Change that to 0 - > Problem Solved ;)

I fixed that problem by changing my music player. Thanks though.

New sound card doesn't like having two mics plugged in at once.
Tried plugging my phone into my computer while on the phone through the front panel audio so i could listen to them through my headphones while gaming. didn't work out like it did without the sound card, now it refuses to "listen to" anything except the optical in.

My front panel connectors don't work and my fans still make some noise. Also, my mic sometimes doesn't work, but I think I got that fixed today.

If I don't power my computer off after a few days, I get artifacts on YouTube Videos.

Counting the bios too? Mine takes ages before it gets past the bios screen because the SSD hasn't even been loaded yet, then it just swoops past the windows animation (before it even finishes) and goes straight to windows.

1. I don't have an SSD but don't have a reason to get one except to say that I have an SSD

2. Just noticed that the stock fan for the 212 Evo is the loudest in my case now (spec in sig). I'll replace it....eventually....

3. Also one of my Corsair AF120 broke and won't turn on so I'm a little sad that it only lasted about 6-ish months.

My RAM heatsinks are too awesome and spiky, they hurt to push in.

 

Has anyone else had the first-world problems meme stuck in the back of their mind while reading this thread lol?

The fans in my H100i make me want to commit suicide sometimes. It's kind of weird the stock case fans on my Corsair C70 make hardly any noise at all and I have all the fans set to 1000 RPM, yet the Corsair H100i fans are like a freaking car on idle from 100 feet away.

 

Also my top PCI slot doesn't seem to work anymore. 

My H100i makes a lot of light at night when I forget to turn it off. 

My C70 is heavy.

My friend wired my HDD activity LED incorrectly and I'm too lazy to fix it.

My fan makes a crapload of noise into my mic when recording a video, but apparently on Skype my friends cant hear it at all. Why this occurs is beyond me.

My mic picks up the random noises of my keyboard, mouse, and my PC even though it is a directional mic. Somehow also seems to pick up my dad listening to music two rooms away. I do not understand this.
