    hi all,
    today, a weird thing happened to me for the third time. i was on a computer in the physics comp suite, and it suddenly started to shut down. this is the third time it's happened to me, but the other two times it happened in the comp suite beside the physics (the software eng one, i think?)
    has this happened to anyone else? do ye have any idea what might be causing it. i just had mozilla and internet explorer opening, browsing the net, playing music from my flash drive.
    might think about getting onto comp services and telling them about it. it's the third time ffs! :rolleyes:

    That happens to me when I use Firefox. Apparently, there's an issue with Firefox (computer services are aware of it but have no definitive date as to when they can fix it).

    My advice: stick to IE (as bloody painful as that is) or try to avoid using campus PCs (which is not really that helpful).

    Also, please mention it to computer services, they might actually do something about it if more people mention it.

    Oh that's what happened to me yesterday, I had finished so I didn't mind so much. They were ok today in the pc room upstairs in Arts millenium anyways.

    does it just show the blue background? cos there's way around that, i think. if you press Ctrl + Alt + Del, you can log on and then back in. that happened to me before, and i think the above way worked in the arts millennium.

    been a few months since i was in there though. i always go the physics or downstairs chemistry. less time queuing, i find.

    the comp shutting down really annoyed me, though, cos i was watching last week's lost online, and it shut down on me :mad: but i just went on another comp and finished watching :P
