Yep, I'm doing the same thing Sylveon's doing-but this one involves computers.

I seem to remember my previous computer (one from 2004 that had Windows XP), back during 2008 and up until it died in February 2009, if I didn't do something on there quick, it would always reboot and then crash with an all upper-case error message on a black screen that read something like "CANNOT FIND SYSTEM DISK". Not only that, but sometimes it would freeze all together in the middle of something.
 
I have too much of those to freaking count or remember
 
I was on a field course at a research station in the middle of a provincial park; my partner did something to the powerbar my computer was plugged into and the next thing I knew, the hard drive was fried. An hour of doing everything I could think of to try and revive the computer and I realized it was hopeless. Fortunately I was able to share computers with other students for the next two weeks of the course, or I'd've been screwwwwed. Then when I got back to civilization and took my computer in, it was less than a week before the warranty ran out - talk about timing!
 
back when i first joined i would post from my laptop, and idk what happened, but one day i would try to turn it on and the screen went full on white and stayed like that
 
When my old laptop died on me, it kept coming up saying "Windows failed to boot properly. Detecting problem" It never found the problem, and my brother had to do a full system reboot for it to work again. I lost my entire Spore empire :'(

That's terrible timing for someone to be messing with your own computer while you're in the middle of nowhere-but at least you finally took it in when it still had a warranty-barely.
 
Back in 2010 the computer we had became too faulty and I ended up without internet access for a few months until October. In March of 2011 I got my laptop that has been going fine since then.
 
Technically not a computer, but a few minutes ago, the Internet on my brother's iPad wasn't working, so he used my tablet...and accidently dropped it, cracking it. It could still turn on and off, but I can't open anything in the cracked area...which takes up HALF THE SCREEN.

edit: It turns out my mom bought a replacement plan, so I got back a new tablet! :D

This is why you never let siblings or other people use your electronics.

Too much risk.
 
I was setting up an epic scene for a Garry's Mod screenshot, and the laptop, which has heating problems in the past, overheated and shut off.

What's worse was when I tried loading my save, none of the models showed up.
 
I was drawing a picture on Microsoft Paint, and suddenly, the entire laptop just freezes. The clock is frozen too. I had to shut it down and start that picture over again since I didn't save it . And it had taken a whole thirty minutes the first time. :mad:
 
I didn't have a laptop, I had a MSI netbook. My sister was pushing me to download MapleStory because her friend wanted to play. I said no, because of viruses. It took her half an hour for me to finally say yes. Guess what I got? A virus. Yup. Blue screen was enough back then to make me flip shit and never touch it again. Now, it is with my sisters old MSI, never to be seen again.
