    Writing from the 24H 'puter room at the back of the library - this is the 6th computer Ive come to before finding one that actually hasn't crashed/ is switched off/ doesnt work etc.
    54th best university in the world my arse....!

    If the computer is switched off turn it on. Very simple!

    I havent come across many broken ones. Maybe one per room which isnt to bad

    Since you've found a computer that works, contact ISS to let them know about the other 5.

    I let ISS know about this situation last October, never got anything other than an automated reply. I did likewise in January and got the same result, thats not to say they didnt check it out, Im just saying they never acknowledged the problem.
    This situation has been ongoing in the 24H room for months now, there are constantly at least 5-7 PCs in there that are in a permanent state of crash. The computer room on level 2 of the College Green building suffers the same kind of problems.
    Ctl,Alt,Delete doesnt work on them either, the screens are frozen saying "Applying personal details" and then nothing happens after that. There are others that are switched off and hitting the on button renders no form of life. It can be quite a joke down there at times, Ive often seen ppl come into the room and have to try to log into 6 or more PCs before having any luck, thats if there isnt a Q already formed. Like I mean its going on way too long, surely ISS must send someone down there at least once a week to check the place is running smoothly? ( which it isnt )

    I'm in here now and there are at least 8 which aren't working, despite reboots.

    Also, the stand-up email stations in the Hamilton DON'T ****ING WORK. EVER.
