HDD it was a fault in the firmware that caused the hdd to not be recognized as a proper boot device at any given boot/reboot it was only from those manufactured before december 2008 like mine, it still lasted over 4 years fine but 1 morning out of the blue "please insert proper boot device" im like wtf
monitor i guess i was just unlucky it simply kept shutting off randomly checked and changed the power wire and all was fine, something inside it was obv. wrong it was my first and prolly my last samsung monitor
my first casing didnt fail per say but for a 1700$ rig i shoulda got more than a 60$ case i didnt think cooling would be an issue but i was simply wrong. with my bigass (for the time) gfx card it generated far too much heat and my computer would overheat and shut itself down in summer i just needed better fans/air circulation
for my gfx card? well i guess i play a lot of games at 1920x1080 and that stresses it a bit... didnt look it up yet to see if many people had the same issue with the card i got but I just assume that with the new and "powerfull" graphics card that are mini computers of their own (own processor fan and ram) their longevity is much reduced compared to cards 10 years ago that didnt generated as much heat and didnt have as many individual components
do you think im wrong to assume the lifespawn (in terms of technical failures, not just getting slow) of a "gaming computer" today is roughly 5 years?
