My first day as an agent, and had a brutal time not laughing to myself..

[Alexandrious]

Yea, first day as a Geek Squad Agent, boy oh boy was I surprised how dumb people really are.

Dumb as in the customers. My first problem to solve was some guy red in the face, cursing and yelling asking why he cant PC Restore his damn desktop. We take a look at it, and lo and behold he had two friggen OS's on the damn thing, Windows Vista and Linux, Linux was stopping Vista from Restoring the damn drives so we had to eliminate Linux, Guess not all Linux users are smart eh??

Heres the next one, blond 19 yr old chick came in, she wanted her Wireless Network card for her laptop installed, yanno the kind where you just plug it into the side, connect it to the routers network and their ya go. Takes 15 mins if you have to install the driver right? Well I didnt had to install the driver, the chick already installed the damn driver -_-. So I plugged the damn card on the side, ran a connection test to make sure it goes online, and oh here ya go little lady, got it done in 5 mins, that will be 50 bucks

Foreign guy came in, wanted his Laptop back that was fixed a few days ago, we gave it to em, 40 mins later he came back asking where his wireless plug and play card is, we told him it didnt came with one, he insisted it did, we checked and had proof he didnt had one in their, he didnt had one in their cuz he already had wireless built into the damn thing, he went silent a moment and walked off.

I dunno if its the state I live in or what, I bet Ferrum could make a ton of money doing freelance computer repairs here. Good lord.

Haha, awesome day :)

Gotta love it when people pay $50 for something that is.. well.. I don't know what to call it.

Day 2. A Woman comes up with her Desktop PC, a custom made, xfi, 6800 GS bout 4 gigs of ram. Apparently the fan was causing a high noise, we noticed her PSU was only 420 watts, we asked her if she knew her system was not gettin enough power due to its setup and she said she wasnt the one who built it, it was her husbands, shes a World of Warcraft Widow * to any of you who knows what one is* we asked her why her husband didnt come by himself and she told us that he told her to bring it to us to see whats wrong.

So we offered her a 750 watt BFG PSU, Replaced the old one and sent her on her way, all the while I was thinking in my head this scenario of how her husband asked her since she was a WoW Widow.

"Damn Fan making a damn ton of noise again! You, WENCH! Bring my pc to them geek squad people and have them fix it, ima play on my laptop for now"

I feel sorry for the woman, though I wonder why my fellow Agent asked her if she had any kids after she told us she was a WoW Widow o_O.

Yo Alex, I am getting this repeated stop error 0x0000008E (0xc000005, 0x00000000, 0xA3AECB88, 0x00000000). It is occurring every time i try to install this tabula rasa beta. I have run a memory diagnostic and a bunch of different on and offline virus/malware scans with no solution to my problem. My pc is pretty well protected i believe, and i just can't seem to figure out why this is happening. Also, everytime i restart my computer, my avast! pops up with a virus at C:\cp1041.nls. Idk if this would be my problem for the BSOD's but any help would be appreciated. Kinda crazy that a geek squad guy walked into my life when i started having these pc problems, lol.

[Alexandrious]

Post a Print Screen with the error on it and ill have a look at it. See if I can figure it out.

So a chick comes in with her desktop, said it dont work no more, smelled it burning when it stopped running. So I opened it up, and saw that the power supply, motherboard, vid and sound cards were fried, and I mean FRIED. So I asked the chick what happened when it stopped working the first time, she told me that it was thundering outside, a big thunderbolt hit near her house and she saw a huge blue spark happen on the back of her computer.

Then I asked if she had a Surge Protector and APC, she then said "What are those"

I banged my head against the wall when I got back from, both from laughing hard and the sheer stupidity of the majority of computer consumers. -_-

the real question here is...why did she bring it to you? did she think you could wave your magic geek wand, put a band-aid on it at it would be all better??

usually when you smell the acrid smell of burning electronics...you chalk it up as a loss..

unless it was a super cool case...was it a super cool case? lol

So a african-american lady comes in today, says she wants a replace on her sons PSP, she threw it on the table, and just from looking at it, I knew, that the kid dunked it in his sandbox, threw it in water, and scratched the screen with a rusty penny. Lady said it doesnt work no more, She Doesnt Know Why

Did we replace it? Hell no.
