Fucking Computers, and fucking tech support....

Post by Weedguru Cusmar »

I just got a new for pc around £370. 3.2 ghz processor, 512mb ram, 120gb hard drive, 128 mb ati radeon graphics, and a case with cool lights and stuff.

Only problem is like most stuff i get it has gone wrong. When i try to install the legal £80 copy of XP from PC world, the install takes about 6 hours when im told it should take only half an hour. I phoned tech support and he sounds like a wanker, he said he would phone me back in 5 minutes about an hour ago :x I'm fucking fuming, im trying to get a brand new pc to run xp and it's failing and the people who sold it to me, and the people who's job it is to help me fix it have both been rude and just generally unhelpful. Usually by now I would have carried it back to the shop telling them to fix it or give me my money back there and then, only problem is i bought it off e-bay so all i can do is give them a bad customer rating :oops:

Anyway i was wondering if anyone can help me out with a website or a helpful number to call, maybe one you phoned and found helpful. I would post more about what is wrong with the pc but i dont know what the fuck im talking about :roll: ....sigh :oops: [/code]

nuke the techsupport!

I never ever buy stuff from ebay, i like it better when i know where im buying from, so that i can take back and rant at them in case something goes wrong ^^
Computer games don't affect kids. I mean, if Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we would all be running around darkened rooms, munching magic pills, and listening to repetitive electronic music.

They got themselves a 'free' version of windows XP :lol:

They have no major problems and when there are smaller ones theres always a piss easy way round it

I buy electronics off ebay often, I really think you should buy a computer from some other site though... newegg.com or ibuypower.com

Yeah man. Those dimension desktops are fucking nutty! My mate got the er... £375 one. It had loads of quality gear in it, and you have the option to add more memory and ram and shit, and they will stick in the extra bits that you pay for, then ship it to you for free.
