over clocked my computer about 6 months ago, but after that i kept getting boot up crashes, at first i though it was due to how cold my computer got, cause it was like in november, but was just the other day messing with the settings, while i was setting up my old computer for my bro and just thought i'll try the optimised settings, tried that and now the computer not had a boot up fault since.

since we all have computers, tell us your strangest moments or errors while you have had a computer

strange things ehh?

Ive handled a LOT of strange computer things;

smoking power supplies for instance. When your powersupply starts smoking, you turn it off. DONT put water on it, DONT leave it running, DONT walk away thinking "i have insurance".

I had an "illegal operation" message once - when I tried to the computer OFF! :lol:

I also had an illegal operation message once during an IT lesson in school. I was bored, so I clicked on the message and started moving it round the screen. The computer glitched and made it look like I had a million illegal operation messages on the screen!

...And guess who had a cover teacher who saw the screen and didn't understand what had happened? I <almost> got a detention because of it! :evil:

Stupid idiot teacher. :roll:
