So I have Opera open browsing Anandtech as usual. I press F7 by mistake, some odd tab pops up then Opera freezes. Then I hear this very fuzzy and loud music that sounds like an ice cream truck and CPU usage from Opera is about 60%. I kill Opera and the sound goes away. It's like Opera is singing opera. WTF? I can't find out what F7 is supposed to do. It seems to do the same thing as F4. Another weird thing is, I press the number 4 and the page totally hides. Then I click on the page's tab and it reappears. No, I'm not joking. The other numbers seem to zoom the font to VERY minute sizes. Something must be seriously f'd up with my Opera.
 
I had an Ocean Systems Octek Hippo-12 motherboard back in 1995. It had ISA, VESA, and PCI slots. I found out that there was an incompatibility with my VESA Local Bus video card, my Soundblaster 16, and something else (don't remember) that made everything on my screen look kind of green.

I was truly on the bleeding edge. Making that system work with all those different technologies that were never meant to accompany one another is still one of my proudest nerd moments. That and I had a 1+ gig hard drive (SCSI-1) back then that cost me $1150.
 
I have an nvidia card i pressed f4 and music came from it. It sounded like a black dude rapping nvidia over and over.
 
I built a system together one time and it didn't power one. Check all connections, still didn't power on. Took it apart and rebuilt it, and it worked... hmmm.

Installed windows and Standby wasn't an option available in the power options. Then one time it just became available.
 
On my first computer, the modem wouldn't transfer anything unless I kept moving my mouse. As you can imagine, this got very tiring during big downloads because I had to keep moving the mouse for the entire time.... turned out that there was an IRQ conflict between the serial port that the mouse used and the modem.
