A book with the title "I didn’t touch the computer, it just stopped working And Other Hilarious Jokes you Can Tell Someone from the IT Department.
I had a GPU fan losing one blade while gaming, once. Made loud ricochet and clang sounds in the PC and then a loud humming (from the remaining off center fan). Really scary. I shut it down and found the blade sitting at the bottom, but it didn’t break anything else. I replaced the whole GPU cooler and it worked for years. Never had this again, but sometimes things just break.
My chipset fan literally rusted internally, from Mississippi air humidity. I do have a brand new fan and brand new replacement capacitors, but I still need to pick up a new PSU.
My desktop has been down for like 8 years, but I do all my own resoldering and other work, so it’s really just a matter of laziness.
I’ve been doing just fine with my 2 laptops for years, so I guess I’ll get to my desktop whenever I feel bored enough.
