I'm kind of offline these weeks due to computer trouble. First, I have replaced the cooling fan on the graphic card, now the fan on the power bank dies...
I now need to check out if I replace this power bank, or the whole computer... Ah, the fun to be forced to spend hard earned money! This year started with spendings on this forum's hosting, the insurance for my car, and a new washing machine. Oh well...
I'm not amused...

Well at least you didn't spend 600 bucks on a car repair that didn't fix the problem and are looking at possibly another grand to get it right.

You’re right, such things give 2020 not the best start...

Re: I'm not amused...
Replacing the power supply will be the cheaper option.
However you need to ask, why are they failing?
There is a possibility that it was your power supply all along, and the other failures were symptoms of that failure.
I once had an issue where i had RAM, hard drive, graphics card and CPU errors (one after the other) and it turned out to be the power supply was failing. I even had it in at the repair shop being stress tested and they couldnt find the issue until i managed to show them how to replicate the symptoms.
Then my computer after that, same thing. But it turned out to be a faulty motherboard.
Computers are dicks. Thats pretty much all there is to it.

You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
