    My father believes she emits some sort of electromagnetic field when emotional. Apparently she managed to kill 3 alternators in my dad's car in the first 3 months of them dating. He claims to have resolved the issue by making her wear a ground strap attached to the car body.

    Also you know those fake windows security alert, you have a virus pop ups ?

    Well I once met a guy who called up the number; then since he was having a hard time understanding the Hindu scammer on the other end, decided it was just easier to throw his PC out.

    You know what, I have my own story about my non-techie family. First of all I am like so many others in this thread the "family IT guy".
    Last month I had to talk her into spending 40$ to replace her defective printer... She complained about having to get another one all week despite literally having found the last one in someone's trash 5 years prior.

    A few days ago I get a call that her printer isn't working and that she lost display on her PC; I get over to her place and find nothing wrong with the printer (she probably was pressing the wrong button to turn it on). THE PC HOWEVER; oh boy somehow she managed to completely kill the GPU & corrupt the windows install on the SSD at the same time by playing around with the wires coming out the back of her PC (she thought something was unplugged).

    I ended up setting her up with an old I3 laptop and told her to wait 6 months cause I'll likely be upgrading my Ryzen build.

    Necrocomputing got a reaction from Car712 in What is the best motherboard for this budget?   
    Honestly any AM4 motherboard that supports overclocking should do the trick no matter how cheap; although VRM cooling is recommended.
    Personally I got a Ryzen 5 2600 (non-x) running at 4.2Ghz on my Asus Prime B350m-e. Silicon lottery statistics BTW

    Necrocomputing got a reaction from Tristerin in What 120mm fans would you recomend for low noise & low cost   
    The fans have arrived and I've installed them. I am pleased to say that I now sit quietly and enjoy the new found silence emanating from my PC despite literally having twice as many fans installed. Great purchase; Thx to everyone for the recommendations.

    at this point you probably need either another CPU or another MB to try and determine if it's the MB or the CPU.

    sigh, I don't wanna waist your time but try disconnecting everything non essential, Hard drives, SSD, Video card, CD-rom etc and see if you get any better results
