As a gamer, I've always been a desktop guy and usually every 6-8 years build a new behemoth of a machine. My 8 year old desktop is dying at the moment. I replaced a dead CPU a year ago. I replaced dead RAM 3 months ago. And now I'm once again getting RAM errors. I guess it's my motherboard and/or power supply that's the culprit here. I'm considering my options. Either replace the next round of parts and continue to troubleshoot or go a different route altogether. It might be time to buy a powerful laptop and replace my 8 year old desktop and 8 year old former work laptop.

What laptop are you rocking? I'm considering System76.

I've had many computers over the years and none have ever had a cpu die or ram die. Very suspicious.

I'll never buy a laptop ever again. They are underpowered and you can upgrade them. If I go away or travel I'll just bring my cellphone. Laptops are too bulky and can break easily.

I like my desktop I don't see the need to buy a super duper powerful one. For gaming I just buy 10 to 5 year old games. New games are too expensive. I don't want to pay 80 USD for a game.

I've never had parts go bad either. First time for everything I guess.

You may be on to something about it being the power supply. I used a different cable from a different power supply and it fried 4 hard drives. Supposedly you are not supposed to do that. Be careful.
