    Mine breaks on its own once I sit down with my food to watch some videos.

    I fucking swear it knows when I’m eating.

    I probably have a faulty CPU, though. I wish there was an easy way to tell (after several flawless RAM tests and two different GPUs),

      Start dmesg when you’re eating, put it in the corner. You can cancel out murphys law with a watched pot never boils.

        Thanks, I’ll try that! Does it even save if the PC freezes solid? Because that’s what usually happens.

          It was a joke, but actually, yeah, it has a good chance.

          When if freezes, whatever was going wrong will likely be all over the dmesg log. as long as it’s just frozen, you’ll likely see what was going on. there’s usually at least some brief inkling before it explodes.
