1174758 2011-02-02 22:32:00 Well strange things are happening everywhere but i had a real good one on monday

I had two pcs crap out the same day with BSOD in normal booting and safe mode booting: :badpc:(that is not strange you might ask)

both pcs were purchased on the same date (i never brought them but the IT dude before me did about ~5 years ago)
Both pcs have exactly the same motherboards and CPUs (MSI: intel P4D 2.66)
Both pcs have 2gb ram (albeit different brands)
Both pcs had hard drive crashes (This is the fault i had to diagnose, HDDs dead)

Weird......

What funny coincidences have you had (IT or not) that made you think, did that really happen??? :eek:

1174759 2011-02-02 23:12:00 How about this 3 weeks ago, took a spare brake booster to drop off at the Bedford Gods Place in Paeroa while in Holiday. I modified my brakes from vacuum to air so it was no longer required thought I give it away because someone would need it sometime and they always go to the Bedford God.
Well at Simpsons Beach Cormandel spot a Bedford bus with the brakes locked on the booster piston had jammed, booster rooted inside.
You can imagine his surprise when I said well I have one right here.
Must be a one in billion billion coincidence.

1174763 2011-02-03 20:28:00 I had 2 graphics cards in identical machines fail on the same day last week. Both of the fans on them had given up causing the machines to overheat and bluescreen, only hours apart. Am waiting for the rest of them to stop working now :badpc: Barnabas (4562)

1174766 2011-02-05 09:44:00 Dunno TBH, cops never found 'em, it was a boy-racer ****-heap style ute though, and a .22 - the only problem that night was that at the time my father was holding our .22, and seeing as he's the one with the license, he wasn't all that keen on firing back. ubergeek85 (131)
1174767 2011-02-06 01:54:00 Had an M16 Jam and the barrel explode on the range... freaky experience. Glad I wasn't holding the bloody thing The Error Guy (14052)
