4670K, murdered by a Z87 G1.Sniper M5, now I have a second 4670K and a Z97MX-Gaming 5

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature!

MoBo ... I bricked BIOS by my laziness when I didn't want to go for my USB flash drive in my other room so I decided to upgrade it from within Windows. I had to wait for over a month to RMA it so... I think I have learned something that day :D (I have different MoBo now).

My previous PSU died on me. Started getting the smell of burnt dust, then 20 seconds later my rig shut off. Then a horrid smell of the innards burning filled my room.

 

Straight away unplugged it from my rig and launched it out the window, went an ordered a replacement which arrived the next day, and all is fine.

 

It was a Corsair 650W 80+ Bronze. Damn thing lasted a good ~5 years, and it was running practically 24/7, never even cleaned it out. 

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

Well my current rig is running strong, though my laptop that I used to use died all together about a week ago. (It was an ASUS k53TA BBR6, Very powerful laptop for the $300 I paid for it, but the build quality was utter shit.)

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

A really old Seagate drive and a 2 year old stick of Corsair vengeance ram, the drive was way past it's glory days (a 300 GB drive) and the stick of ram got replaced asap as soon as I contacted the store, had it in my hand 2 days later (and we live in the middle of nowhere).

Actually in all my years of computing I have never had any PC component actually fail on me. Touch wood. That includes my 10 year old PC that has been sitting under my bed for wel the past 10 years. It still boots up just fine.

I've only ever had one part die on me, though I've had two DOA.

I had my first RAM kit (Corsair vengeance lp) with one stick DOA. I also had a Netgear switch arrive with some weird defect (maximum speed through it was 16Mb/s).

Last December I had my 1TB WD Caviar Blue die on me though.

SiS 650 (an old video card from the P4 days) died on me after a few weeks of heavy gaming... I was young and tried to max out the graphics in some of the games... Turns out that the card was on it's way to silicon heaven...

 

 

Everyone has killed a hard drive by dropping it.

Not me... Dropped a few HDDs and even a still turned on laptop... No damage... Not even to the data...

I've had a motherboard, a GPU fan, & a DVD drive fail on me. (Putting aside things like laptops and such)
