Are you one of those guys sitting in front of your computer at home or at the office yelling and cussing the screen because it can't read your mind? Actually, you are not by yourself. A study sponsored by Crucial Memory found that 36% of all US PC owners are guilty of raging on their computers, sometimes to the point of violence. So what was the cause of their PC misbehaving? 46 percent of those surveyed blamed a virus or malware attack, while 12 percent blamed their own actions for the issues. 10 percent said installed software caused a problem on their PC and eight percent said there was not enough RAM in their computer. 12 percent didn't know what the problem was.
