Damn, my computer scared the shit out of me O.o

Yea, I was in the kitchen, and when I came back to my comp, it was making loud noise
At first, I though it was overheating, so I turned it off
I waited a couple of minutes
Then I turned it back on
The loud noise was still there, plus, my monitor was telling me that the GPU was disconnected

So, I did what everyone would have done
I unplugged all wire and cleaned inside

I unplugged the GPU, cleaned inside it and in the fan with compressed air
Then, I replugged everything
The loud noise was still there...
But then, I noticed, and i dont how the hell it happened, that some wires were touching the cpu fan
I dont know how the hell they moved, but after passing a couple of minutes moving and twisting them, the noise stopped

And then, surprise... Ethernet had problem...
So I unplugged/replugged the router, and it was fine

Little bonus, my mouse had a light inside it that was glowing of many color
It stopped glowing a while ago, but was still working as a mice
Welll, the little bonus, the glowing light is back on :D

I remeber when I first built my PC. I didn't know what to expect turning it on but it loaded fine. Some weird noise was happening as it booted into bios and I'm like "wtf". It took me 5 minutes to realize my CPU fan wires were hitting the fan its self. It scared the living crap out of me.

I think my heart sank when my gpu wasnt working. Turns out my outlet had malfunctioned and couldn't give the pc enough power.

Computers are one scary thing man I'll tell you that.

Lol I remember having a mini mouse that changed colors back in 2004 or so. I used it all the time with my toshiba satellite.

Whenever they make weird noise, we gamer all go crazy
Because those little toys cost a lot

The real fun comes when you don't realize you have set your fan speed at 100%

You literally think the computer will fly away from you

One time, my concern came from a LACK of noise. I have a custom liquid cooling loop and I took a nap for a couple hours. When I woke up, I noticed it was quiet. Too quiet ... So, I jumped out of bed and ran over and sure enough, my pump died. The comp was in low power mode so the screens were black and I just flipped the PS kill switch. RMA'd the pump and put it all back together after I got back from the store I bought it at. Everything was fine ... Thank god. I would've cried like I lost a child lol.

@Zhongtiao1 my PC has this issue where sometimes the screen goes black and one of my fans starts spinning like crazy, requiring me to hold down the power button. Sometimes it’s relatively quiet but sometimes it gets really loud. Well, once I dreamt that it got so loud that my monitor got launched off my desk and landed on the floor (facing the same way, as if I hadn’t set it there) unharmed (somehow). It also scared the everliving crap out of me.

Had something similar recently. Left, came back, computer light was on but the computer acted like it was in hibernate (but I don't have my computer setup to hibernate). Rebooted and it worked fine. Actually opened it up a few days later and it was a mess of dust inside (especially the GFX card). The funny thing is that except for a bit of graphical glitching on video (white/black specs at random) there was no real evidence of just how bad the GPU was. On the bright side, now my GPU runs at idle at ~31C (room is ~27C at most). Too bad overclocking doesn't do much. :/

Computers are creepy little things, especially when dealing with some errors.
"Transaction [A] was deadlocked on [X] resources with another process
and has been chosen as the deadlock victim." is the creepiest so far for me.

I remmember a year ago when someone paid me to clean her pc insides, and a week later the pc died. I was freaking out cause the main suspect was the gpu (when trying to turning on the pc, the gpu fans made a lot of noise, that kind of noise that makes you scream internally) and was a gtx 980 (freakin expensive), and there was no way for me to convince her that it wasn't my fault.
Finally was a half-dead ram stick, removed it and all was working flawlessly, but man, what a frightening experience lol

Lol funny story with my gaming laptop. I bought it from a friend, and my keyboard is supposed to do light. My friend told me there's a "wire" (idk how to tell it in English sorry I'll add a picture)
to connect so the keyboard can do light again. So I removed every screws, I replugged the wire, I screw back everything and when I power on my laptop, I can hear weird "pop" noises coming from the speaker. I don't know how it happened but there was a screw that was touching the motherboard, that's why my speakers were dying lol. I took a day to figure out what was wrong I didn't felt good at all.

of course it wasn't that one but it's like that

    VR had the chance to integrate with existing games and tech but VR companies said "NO, I WANT MY SHIT TO BE STANDALONE AND MY GAMES EXCLUSIVE TO FACEBOOK"

    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.

    The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc

    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.

    These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs
