What the actual issue is on 90 percent of all calls to technical support/I.T. help desks, it is an acronym meaning "Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard."
The use of this term became common when tech support people began to have a need to vent frustration on arrogant callers who had, in fact, themselves caused the problem, yet continued to insist it was the computer's fault, or the techie's fault.
