holy fuck. I'm having problems with my old skool games machine, as Tart Monkey will attest to if he's about, and I'm reading severalteen forums populated by the Great Unwashed.

I came across this. Read and wish your PC support was done by someone else (bear in mind I've been involved with customer support since 1985)

"Hi all i were reading all 14 pages to do with that issue and i have a definate resolution to it .... no its not the reset button lmao
i posted here coz i thought people will see it more
here goes iv been a pc tekkie for 15 years ms certified and all that cack
i noticed that nobody said they left the mobo about 10 seconds after switchin socket on i done that for last 2 months and its worked also i av checked bios temp from 18c to 25c ...never a reboot
if u think im talkin cack il tell u what u need 12v to the cpu and 12v to the board it has to even all this out b4 it can boot properly its like switchin a tv on the tube takes time 2 reach full capacity
thats why msi cant replicate the prob coz there givin it time b4 switchin it on
btw the bit about coolig it down to make it reboot is cack as i have tried"

Had a rebuild in last week. 'NTL won't support it'. Fair enough. Turns out it's three pikey OS upgrades on a base e-machine box (cheap SHIT) and suddenly doesn't have the antivirus software I installed eight months (and two OS's) ago.

But I contravened the first rule of support shortly after they got this machine. Turned out they wanted a CD writer. Sight-unseen, I decided to pick up a cheapy and fit it in my spare time.

So I get a drive. Went to fit the bloody thing. While I started to fit it I noticed the 'CD-Recordable' flash on their existing drive. Shit.

While trying to ascertain why they wanted an *additional* cd-burner, the guy paying for it pointed me to his HAPPY BABY ORANG-UTAN WATERMELONTARD of a son who told me exactly why it was not a burner.

He had some difficulty fifteen minutes later when I allowed him to browse his my docs folder from a laptop though...

Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone.
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
