Thanks abubin for your comment. I do agree with you, actually, that even with heavy usage your PC should not fail every 6 months.. Heck my own self-assembled PC lasted well over 2 years before it started failing. However I think we should hear from him on what exactly he means by 6 months, perhaps the desktop was built and upgraded with different parts over different times so it just happens that each component fails after 2-3 years but at a frequency of once every 6 months or so... which, in my personal opinion is understandable I suppose.
sleep_snore, perhaps you can elaborate further?
to be exact.. 6 month is average
a summary of 2 unit of desktop
i do not know why they fail (i know what leads to it)
the GC overheat (fan mulfunction)
the hdd fails (bad sector)
the current amd motherboard is unstable.
if other peripheral were assemble in another mobo and proc it will work as fine as new
massive virus attack (unreliable AV)
irresponsible colleageu
use as data transit for house mate
electrical leakage (all possible grounding has been made so its not my fault)
long operating hours (office pc never been use as playstation 8 hours straight)
now cannot even format.. take out the hdd, format on other cpu that put it back
dvdrom not functional anymore (can not read dvd even for formatting)
system says the DVD is functioning..
i have 3 DVDROM all cannot be use on my CPU, on other people, it works superbS
USB controller will restart upon inserting foreign/new device.
1 of the 2 ram expansion port have electrical leakage
every time formatting is done only because windows corrupted and not because i love it
by all means to say i do not know why it fails (my mums even nags me about it)
i know its faulty but i need it
i am a student
i took 1/2 hour to write this (a summary)
i used for a long hours weekdays or weekends
