My PC woes continue as it just shut off yesterday during watching a stream. Yet again it didn't boot up again and was just stuck before Windows could load. At least this time I could after some time conclude that the reason it wasn't booting up was because of USB. Whenever it was stuck I just removed all USB cables and it booted instantly.
Some months ago one of the USB ports even caused a bluescreen just by plugging something into it.

I heard of X99 chipsets and their garbage USB but now I can live it.

As for the sudden crash yesterday I don't know what could have caused it. I looked at the event viewer and there was nothing. It just shut off. I don't want to think it's the PSU or CPU again but what else could cause this?

That sucks. How much did you spend on the PC? 

 

My laptop from 2009 is still going strong. I've a nice new alienware one for work but the DELL i bought 8 years ago never gives me problems. It has an intel i5 and uses windows 7. 

Dunno how much. 2.5k? Was worth every penny.
