Hey, I'm not saying there aren't problems with PCs in general, because there absolutely are. Every time I plug a USB stick in my computer, it seems to be random whether my PC can read it or not. If not, I switch it to different ports until it starts working. Of course there are other problems as well from time to time. However, it's PC gaming that I haven't had any major trouble in a long time, but I don't think it's a fair comparison to mention general PC problems in a gaming discussion unless all you have your computer for is gaming. My impression is that PC gaming these days is fairly easy - for more people than just me.

A lot of these issues are stemming from folk using outdated OS's, outdated hw and pushing mobile hw to it's limits, while expecting far more of them. 

LIke I bought my gf a gaming Laptop last Xmas, but I did also tell her not to expect the same levels of performance as my rig, because the two were so different. Heating is absolutely one of her main issues, but that's gaming lappy's and lappys in general for you. 

I myself have hardly had a PC related issue for years now, even gaming related. Only time I had a bad driver issue, was when Nvidia screwed the pooch with the game ready driver for Wolfenstein TNC, and even then they released a hotfix a few days later and resolved the issue for me. 

Starting to feel like this thread is becoming less about O{'s issues now though, and more about "what I dislike about PC gaming" instead. Not exactly on topic and more like a mini echo chamber. We had these way back in 2014, and they never ended well.
