I known this sounds strange but it's a fact.

I assembled my first desktop on 2003 the second one on 2008 and so on.

And what is more weird is it was the motherboard that failed in all 5 of them. The RAM never failed. The HDDs lasted more than 10years before getting bad sectors. Yes, the PSUs have failed too but they are quite cheap coz I am not a gamer.

The sad part is after 5years the CPU socket becomes obsolete so I had to buy new processors.

So the life of a motherboard is 5 years?

I must mention that I use my desktops for more than 10hours per day.

Running win10. The wallpaper video is running good. Problem: when I minimize the last window, the video stops until I click on desktop (or reopen any window). Wtf? Anyone else notice that? Any suggestion?

Which desktop OS is best?

& Yes I know Chrome OS is based on Linux but they are different enough

It is my first time buying a pc, and I was wondering if you guys (the wonderful people of reddit) could help me. I need a fast running pc for competitive online play with a budget of $1500. I have already picked out a monitor, mouse, keyboard, headphones, and a chair outside of this budget. I found this pc on bestbuy that seems to fit all my needs. I want an i7 intel core processor, at least 1tb of storage, at least 16gb ram and a solid graphics card. I don't mind the color of the case. Is there anything that i'm missing, or should take note of? Thank you for your time.

I'm using modkavartini's catppuccin rainmeter skin, there is an option to create a custom snippet but I have no idea how to modify it, is there any way to make it display a bluetooth keyboard battery percentage?

Thanks

Can someone please explain how to do undervolt or fix this issue? Cpu overheating when stressed tested, i belive cpu bios needs optimization by undervolting, underload the usage of cpu is 144% and using 1.4v. The desktop has 6 intake fans and 4 exhaust fans with a cooler from Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT Liquid CPU Cooler.

Setup cpu- intel i7 13700k, motherboard gigabyte AORUS elite ax, cooler- corsair h150i, ram- corsair vengeance 32gb, psu- corsair rm850x, gpu- rtx 3070ti. I will post a picture of the cpu temps and voltage while under load and a picture of the bios settings( most settings are default), later when i get a chance. Thank you.

What could be the cause of my PC's screen turning off while the CPU remains operational and the fan immediately runs at maximum speed? When I restart it, everything seems normal.

I wanna know so that I can use it without breaking anything or experiencing any major bugs
