Ugh. My laptop doesn't like to charge - the little connector where you plug it in is not working properly, and the battery is old as well. It's also riddled with viruses but it has tons of photos and music and documents on it that I want off. My husband and I bought a file transfer cable and program to get all the information and sat holding the cord in just the right way for hours to charge the laptop and install the program. Then, my brand new PC refused to recognise the cable and it's driver!! The laptop actually accepted the program and cable but the PC didn't! ARG!!!!

My worst experience was that one day, I was using my PC, when all of a sudden, it started to open up many windows that I didn't even select. After that, the PC just bursted into flames and then died instantly. When I took it to repairs, they said that there was no way to recover my computer. So I got another one; this time, a Mac! Now I don't have to worry about these kinds of problems anymore!

When I'm not at home and I can't connect to the internet from someone elses computer. Ugh.

my friend reformatted my computer and deleted all my music. this was mostly bad because prior to that my cd's were stolen. now my music is stuck on my ipod never to return until i search the internet for a way to get music off my ipod to my computer. luckily im positive there is a way.

When I was trying to reformat my hard drive with instructions over the phone from a Microsoft Engineer from New Delhi. It took nearly 3 hours and ran down the batteries on my house phone and one mobile phone . I must add Microsoft called me back and paid for the calls even to my moble phone. They were very helpful but I was terrified i was going to lose the connection or do something wrong. The engineer was very good and a very nice man but his accent was rather strong.

Many years ago, (10+) I got a nasty virus and before I knew it my data was all corrupted. I lost everything, had to reformat it all and then of course installed new anti virus and other protection, which I though I had. Obviously it was not updated or very good at the time.

Gave my old laptop to a supposed expert to solve some compatability issies, nad it came back with a reformatted hard drive - but the 'expert' hadn't backed up the hard drive before reformatting - I lost $400 worth of software, and about 2 years' worth of backed up data. I now back up to an external hard drive.

http://www.funny-games.biz/beatup-pc.html this is the best place when I am feeling angry! anyway my worst experience with a computer has been all those many times when it gives an error message and then shuts down your program with out saving it. I had auto recovry set for every ten minutes and I was almost done making a movie. And then my computer froze! I lost the end credits and some editing. I was steamed!!!!

I'm so computer-illiterate, I don't know where to begin.

Some seven years ago I was at the office and they called me to install Wordperfect 8 in an old computer with Windows 95. As I was installing the program, the computer suddenly died. Lot's of people blamed me, started saying that I broke the computer. I tried to explain: Supposed that you are doing the laundry, and the washer stopped and the engine just quit and died. Is it your fault? They made me mad enough for me to walk away before I started cursing and throwing things against the wall.

Deleting a report by mistake. Got pissed off badly.

the blue screen of death. over and over. this is not a good sign when you're a programmer. btw, i even successfully crashed linux many, many times! i was on a deadline and am not sure how i didn't have a mental breakdown. also, i should have known better, but i was really hard up one time for internet, so i installed AOL to use up the free month offer. when i called to cancel, they asked why & i said i couldn't afford it. so, the girl offered me another free month. i didn't want to bother arguing, so i took it. then, another month rolled around & i called again with the same result. at this point, i was thinking i was getting one over on AOL & that was a good thing cuz i loathed them so. anyhow, the 2nd person did not sign me up for another free month, as promised. i was on a very limited plan, with so many minutes per month. after i went over the limit, it was either about $2.95 or $4.95 a minute. this was during the days of dial up & i was on the internet almost 24/7. i then received a bill from AOL for one month of service for five hundred something dollars! one month!!! i was never able to resolve it and had to pay the entire amount.

When my PC crashed and I lost almost all of my files.

I've had sereval the most recent was when I had to resort to smashing my crt screen on the side with a rubber mallet in order to gain a reducing number of seconds of use before the screen shrank to a single dot... I remember in the end hitting the screen 50 times for a 20 second use. The worst experence was when I snuck a computer game of jeopardy on to my fathers buisness computer and ending up removing all the directorys and deleleting everything from the computer...My father didn't know how to back up files and his buisness computer had to be done over from scratch....It's a good thing he though it was a virus or I wouldn't be here today...The good side Is I learned a lot of Dos commands and programs that month.

Back in about 1986, my dad’s computer randomly exploded. No one was anywhere near it; I’m not even sure it was turned on! But we all heard it, and when we went downstairs there was a huge cloud of smoke coming out of the top. *Very* strange.

When I first started building desk tops I wasn't savey to the huge amound of electrical charge that can come from inside the case. I didn't ground myself, was working on the computer ON a rug, and when I leaned in to get to work, the electrical charge blew me off my feed and backward onto my butt.

Me getting fined more than $700.00 dollars for burning to many DVD movies. That sucks and I'll never do It again for sure.:)
