My computer is haunted
My computer is haunted
Shortly after retiring to bed and shutting down my computer, it decides it's not ready to go to bed and just turns itself back on. Since I live alone in a bachelor apartment I am pretty sure there is no other explanation, my computer is haunted by an insomniac spirit.
So what's inside your computer that shouldn't be there?

Re: My computer is haunted
I'm probably not alone in that I can't seem to get this out of my computer lately. It's quite worrisome.

I'm too much of a puss to be the first person to check what that link is. Someone else do it. >.>

Dear Evil Jim,
I couldn't help but notice you used a tiny url. Last time I clicked on a tiny url, I got sent to meat spin. Granted it wasn't you, but you can understand my concern, I'm sure.

Oh god, I'd NEVER send anyone to meatspin! I'm just used to using tinyurl for Twitter. I may be Evil, but I'm not an asshole.

Re: My computer is haunted

That swf could be used for mass hypnosis,
"you will watch LRR.... You will love LRR.... Look at the Matt...Trust the Matt *click*"
Though haunting, I do find it hypnotic with Matts bobbing head and looping colours.

I'm not linking anybody to the real meatspin. That's not something I want haunting anyone's computer... Well, anyone here on LRR.

Re: My computer is haunted
That happens to my computer all the time. I thought there were some faulty settings somewhere or something (yeah I'm no computer expert) and it got really annoying because it started up the very second it had powered down so I had to pull the plug on it and be really fast about it. But as I found out when I moved the computer to another house, it was the internet connection.

Wake over LAN? WOL where the router sends a packet to the ethernet port to tell it to start up

Re: My computer is haunted
It could be an electrical problem; it's not uncommon for some devices to start turning on and off if there is some electrical problem with the wiering or something along thouse lines. If you can't find another reason it might be worth checking up as it can turn into a fire hazard if not risking to electrecute you.
But check out that router thing first

...GODDAMMIT!
I _always_ click links.
Also, there is nothing inside my computer that shouldn't be, except a hell of a lot of dust.

Re: My computer is haunted
It's a ghost, there is no other logical explanation. None. I refuse to believe any of this techno-mumbo-jumbo about internet connections and faulty wiring! (Mostly because I have a real nice surge protector and have set disabled WOL on my bios). The only non-ghost explanation is that I shipped my computer from Thunder Bay to Toronto in Sept, the front door on my case got smashed and it may have damaged the power switch... but I am fairly sure it was ghosts who damaged it in shipping.
Oh and for things that shouldn't be in computers... I used to work at Futureshop so I've seen a wide variety of things inside computers. For instance someone's pron stash (of photos of their gf I am assuming), a couple drug stashes, and even a colony of cockroaches.
