Are computer issues contagious?

I just lost a page due to the darn computer freezing up. Of course it's the day after the technician "fixed" the problem that was nothing like this.
The layout wasn't that far along -- but 4 pictures were all shined up and cropped just right. So it's time to start Challenge #15 again. Thankfully it was an easy one.

Ugh! I hate it when that happens! My Mac Pro has been twitchy lately- completely freezing up for no reason whatsoever to the point that I have to power it down and then back on.

Sometimes when there are random freezes, it means that you have a RAM stick with a bad sector on it. When the computer tries to read/write from that area, it just goes haywire and locks up. That might not be the issue, but could be worth looking into. I'm thinking of swapping mine out to see if that helps.

Contagious? NO NO NO...please god no, they aren't!

It always happens when I'm up against a deadline or trying to complete something before moving to something else . . .

yep and then after spending hours with the tech you forget how to post things in certain areas. Hmm come to think of it he never called back. ARGH.
