Dodgy connection
« on: February 12, 2009, 11:06:51 PM »
This bloody heap of electrical shite is playing up YET again. It's about 6 years old now and I'm wondering if it's finally and gradually throwing the towel in. rubschin:
If the phone rings, the 'puter invariably crashes, and it sometimes takes about 3 attempts to log on to aoHELl's homepage when I fire it up.

Sometimes everything loads up dead quick like, then all of a sudden it all slows down.
What's that all about then? pcwhack:

If you have not upgraded any of it in 6 years then it is probably time to buy a new PC.

It has got to be worth it considering the frustration the present one is causing you .

My mum has AOL on her PC - I find it so infuriating when I use her compuer  Banghead

Must say, Dell's been good apart from the original screen packing up after 5 days.

Just taken me 5 attempts to sign on this morning. ::)

Why would the phone ringing cause it to crash? Didn't think broadband acted like that?

Do you still have a 'phone line connected into the modem in the back of the PC...?

I dunno. What's it look like? Mucho wires giblets and flashing boxes and general stuff 'anging around, but they all look connected like yes. If they weren't connected it wouldn't werk at all I presume.

Start at the friggin telephone socket at the wall man....

One wire should go into the broadband router and thence via another wire to your PC.

If there is a telephone type wire which goes from the telephone type socket direct to a modem built-into your PC that might cause the issue....
