Most annoying situations while working with your PC

You actually can't.

Those googly eyes he put on the image are about 2/3 cm below my wrist. It's more likely my bone.

But how did you get it in the first place ?

Trying to cable manage my NON-MODULAR PSU behind the motherboard tray WITHOUT having zipties or cable ties.

Everything is where it's supposed to be for 5 seconds and once I try to put the panel back on NOTHING is where I put it...

$1 bag of zipties later and I'm still afraid to open the panel to redo everything.

Cool ... I can see the muscle fibers that have been cut ... Luckily you didn't cut your blood vessel , or else you would be in a bloody coma after like 5 minutes ... 

 

On an unrelated note , I don't have any muscle on my wrist ... Just bones ... * Sob quietly *

Getting asked to pause an online game...-snip

^this.

 

I am constantly being bothered by my family, despite the fact that I am obviously busy and have told them repeatedly that I can't pause what I am doing. Nope, they still continue to interrupt me, so that I can do something that they could have done themselves, and actually would have taken them less energy than it did for them to walk to the back of the house and ask me to do it.

 

>.<

Trying to install your OS via USB and the motherboard just won't cooperate.

[FaZe Booce]

I sent back a dead graphics card. I got another one which was also dead.

When one thumb presses the spacebar before the other one can.

It just annoys me so much, I have to stop typing. 

 

Also, having to take out two GPUs every time you want to access the USB headers, front panel headers, or CMOS battery.

Trying to install your OS via USB and the motherboard just won't cooperate.

 

This reminds me of something that made me rage so hard. I had a Dell XPS laptop (had a lot of hardware problems (mobo + soldered GPU) with this thing already) and at one point I had to reinstall Windows for troubleshooting purposes. It did not have an usb 2.0 port. Has anyone ever tried installing win 7 from usb without an usb 2.0 port? It was hell. Tried slipstreaming the drivers and all kind of solutions and it didn't work for 3 days. Once I managed to get a hold of someone who could burn a win7 disc for me I found out the ethernet drivers didn't even work so I could not install or download any other drivers. I HAD TO BURN A DISK WITH BASIC DRIVERS. Makes me mad just thinking about it. 

 

I also had one shitty laptop (can't remember the brand or model) that I had to use an icepack to boot up. No problems with temperature or anything once it was on. Only during boot it would fry itself. It had smoke coming out it a couple times when friends tried booting it up without knowing about it.

Stupid annoying PSU fan that's loose on it's bearing and makes a lot of noise at startup.

[evilarceus]

Does this count?

(had to use it on my friend's PC :L)

[mikat]

i built a computer for my dad, there were two hdd leds and no power leds... LOL

[Mushious]

3000rpm noctua fan that doesn't work if I reset bios until I plug it in while the computer is powered on.

[Trivecta]

@STRMfrmXMN could that be any more accurate...

Trying to put a HG10 coupled with a radiator in a 250D. Yeah. Good luck with that.

[SubterraneanSun]

Definitely this. Also having to open the case again because I always forget to plug the power cable to the GPU.

[RuffRuffmcgruff]

It's very petty, but very annoying for me. When i'm in the middle of a game then someone rings/hangs up on skype it always bloody minimises the god damn game. AND GOD DAMN SKYPE not understanding what close means. when i click that red x i want that to close like right away, don't make me go into my system tray and right click quit. 

 

Rant over..
