Title: Computer is messed up.
Post by: Sparkey98 on March 12, 2011, 03:33:05 PM: My HP Touchsmart jest randomly started being a bitch. I've tried updating Java 8 times, and rebooted twice, but it never does. Launching Minecraft gives me an error. Launching RA2 tells me my graphics card is not good enough to run it. Same with Windows Movie Maker. I haven't had a virus in forever, but I'll run a diagnostic check.

Sony I'll agree with, but my friend has an Acer laptop that hasn't ballsed up once in 3 years.

Don't blame the hardware, blame the software.

Awful build quality. I've seen HP laptops starting overheat after the 2nd year of exploitation, often requiring expensive reballing afterwards.

My brother-in-law got an HP laptop recently. I've noticed that the HP designers thought it was a good idea to put a column of hotkeys immediatly to the left of the keyboard. Also, I spent an hour uninstalling all the crapware that was installed on it.
