      @Dashrender does the room have a slightly higher humidity level?

        Nice to know that other people have these issues. My client's weird issues moved from office to office in the same building and to the new building, even after getting new computers. She just works around the weird issues (never any errors in the logs though).

          Sometimes someone just winds up as the unlucky one. It happens.

            Bad power?

            Bad user, more likely.

              Windows constantly freezes up ...

              Same user that decides on save policies then ignores then, right? Might be a combination of decisions leading to freezes.

                At least from what I have seen its almost always bad power. It just takes a little under or a little above the recommended power to get electronics to start messing up. I put in APC units that are power filters and keep the power around 120. Stuff quits breaking and acting weird every time, at least for me. I usually use the $150-200 units from APC.

                  That's generally true, but in this case we have a well known user who tends to create a bit of disaster in non-electronic form as well. So I'm guessing that this is more coincidence.

                    Don't you have a contract with or someone to call to service and maintain all of your printers and copiers?

                    Otherwise, you'll just have to take it to a printer repair shop or buy more reliable printer.

                            Same thing as randomly drawing this card from your deck. 🙂
