[IndaLight]

Phhh I hate installing motherboards. 

[Peter Vaughan Truslow]

assembling laptops after deconstruction..

hmm. I wonder where this extra screw came from!

[Canadien_Dom]

cleaning out other peoples computers...

[Ptopman]

Virus/Malware scans

[elecxonica]

Troubleshooting other people's computers. Esspecially if they use a mac.

[matthewmarchant]

Explaining to people that a $2000 razer laptop isn't the best computer on earth. 

[LeopardChurch]

Cloning hard drives with only one computer available (the one that's cloning the hard drives) man I get bored quickly.

[LapX]

Nvidia drivers. Damn things are either crashing, stable, or just broken. ehem shadowplay

Never had a problem with an nvidia driver since 2010 when I got my first computer...

[Mushious]

Installing motherboards... I HATE the I/O shields, the boards never seem to fit right, takes a dozen attempts and jiggles to get it to click in.

[Whatsupnowbro]

all of the fricken little miniscule updates that only fix issues like the toolbar being too green and that one pixel nobody noticed being off, so Adobe, Microsoft, Razer, Google, Valve, or HP absolutely need to send an update that requires you restarting your computer

[RevyOcelot]

Waiting for my school tablet to be able to handle 20+ tabs again during the scheduled virus scan.

[Kyuubixchidori]

waiting what feels like 5 minutes after windows boots to do anything on computers without SSDs. Guess im just spoiled.

 

hate when my AMD drivers decided to currupt themselves. solving issues like that sucks

[Techteen14]

Stuff that I do: cable management. I've been putting it off for weeks now.

Stuff that Windows does: let me end the File system process, drivers not automatically downloading for EVERY part.

Stuff other people do: pirating anything, especially in this first world country when you use your $1,000+ computer with pirated Windows because cheapness. You really have no reason not to pay for Windows, MS of today is totally cool and not the MS of 15 years ago. Even worse is when people piate movies or songs, since those are like 99¢ for the former and $15 for the latter. And you're using a $1,000+ PC.

Using a school computer.

THISS^^^^^ I absolutely hat school computers, especially when they are networked systems. My college actually has pc's with some decent specs (i7 and 680) but the way they are set up to work on a network makes them feel SOO SLOW.

[Blebekblebek]

Forced UPDATE

 

click YES, UPDATE FAIL
click NO, computer start to shut down.

[Gale]

Cable management.

[hypnodog]

Windows installation, updates, drivers, putting in the front panel connectors without a Q connector, and the one I hate the most: cable management.

[Gilbert]

using school equipment for computer "programming" classes on their almost broken mushy keyboards on 1.5 Ghz pentiums. 

[Sybre]

I hate trying to fix ANY computer issue with people that don't understand how computers work. I'll get rid of any virus, adware, or bloatware, update drivers, install helpful things like WOT and ad blocker, the whole works. Then usually a few days later I get a call saying I broke their computer and they demand that I fix it. When I go back to see what's wrong, they have the same viruses they had last time from downloading the same garbage. I haven't fixed a computer for someone I don't know well enough in years.

[Jambls]

Fixing computer issues for friends and then getting a call later saying "you were the last person to touch my computer and it is not working now so you broke it" when it was their own fault for getting more malware.

Also printers...

[Avericious]

Troubleshooting ambiguous issues that have a million different potential causes and solutions.
