Can't say I blame you - especially when working on larger files autosave can get annoying unless you set it to a higher frequency. I've also faced a similar situation, but with a much more satisfactory ending. I used to own a particularly shite 286 which crapped out all the time. When I upgraded I had a very fun time taking the 286 quietly out behind the shed and teaching it a lesson with a spade (seen the movie Office Space? Very similar).

Now, while I'm not suggesting you steal a lab computer and get evil on it, perhaps some other form of aggression release will help (find a local village and run around screaming about blue screens of death at old ladies or something).

I can completely identify with you though - I think we've all been there at some point.
