I wonder if it's something I'm doing.
About 6 months ago, my Dell died when its harddisk let go. Being 4 and a bit years old, I bought a new one and stuffed it under the bed.
About 6 weeks ago, a laptop in work died. It was a decade old, so it passed without concern. I was sitting beside it at the time.
Just befor xmas, my personal laptop, not six months old, decided to shit its fan, and then have the HDD fail. It went back to manufacturer.
I borrowed a computer. 3 hours ago, while sitting at my desk at work, it went pop. Just shut down and died completely. No power anywhere.
Currently posting on the old Dell. Which just about manages to work with a HDD stolen from the broken borrowed machine.....
Joy.
Is it something I'm doing. Seriously? Because I commuted on a bus/train with this thing for over three years and it's still pretty solid. Aside from the HDD. Then left it running for a month or more at a time without shutting down. It never complained. Until I started commuting to work by car.
Now I've killed many computers.
What the hell is going on?
