A recent survey commissioned by Crucial has turned up a few interesting statistics on computer stress. 94 percent of respondents said they've had computer problems drive them up the wall, and a little over half aren't happy with how their little Internet box behaves in general. 18 percent even said computer problems are more stressful than taxes.

Like anyone, I've had my share of computer stress. Sometimes it's something little, like temporary but insufferable lag. Other times I've lost paragraphs of work due to a crash, and then there's the dreaded "I didn't backup, like ever" hard drive crash. That one, at least, is worse than taxes, I think.

How much does your computer stress you out, more than it makes your life easier? Do you curse at it under your breath? Loudly? What's your worst comp-stress horror story? Let it out. It's good for you.

The last stressful event on my computer that drove me "nuts" was on shut down, (Win 7 Home Premium) at shut down I would constantly get "Waiting for background programs to shut down", for the life of me I could not figure it out and just put up with it. I have since found a "Microsoft fix" that I downloaded and that seems to have resolved it, although it does happen occasionally still. The latest stress causing condition is even stranger, I'll click on a webpage link, I'll see the page, and then all of a sudden it goes to the desktop with a darker and slightly bigger hour glass the the usual hourglass, after about 2-3 seconds she'll go back to the webpage, it's very intermittent but annoying indeed. I suspect it may be the Verizon Actiontec MI424-WR REV E. Router / Modem combination. I am directly connected via Ethernet cable.

This is very true...I deal with computer issues every day at my job, but what's more stressful is.... my co-workers complaining and drives me more nuts. :lol:
