I’ve said it before. Computers have become victims of their own success. The people making the software and hardware have done a great job of making it all simple enough for normal people to put it together and use, for the most part, quite successfully. The problems this causes longer term is highlighted in threads like this and the PC vs MAC threads where people complain about Blue screens and unstable computers.
Because at the end of the day, most of the people setting their computers up aren’t experts. they muddle along and follow some internet advice and then it works for a bit. If your video recorder broke, you wouldn’t even dream of fixing it yourself, you’d get an expert in. For most people, a car breakdown means getting a mechanic in, likewise your boiler, cooker and hoover.
If your computer breaks though you can just fix it yourself. And then it’ll work for a bit and then bluescreen because you’re not an expert and you make mistakes.
Fix your own boiler, see how long it just works for. Or get someone in who knows what they’re doing and it’ll just work.
(This isn’t an attack on the OP, just a general observation about computer complaints)
