I have a computer that's been on the fritz for about a month now. It would act up, I think that I've made a repair only to find it act up again. A symptom is like signs of a bad hard drive. I'd change the drive which seems to work for a short time, then the replacement drive indicates as bad. Then the computer says the other connections have issues like the DVR burner.
I'm still not 100% sure if the issue is software/hardware or both. But my theory now is the culprit might be a bad power supply. To add insult injury, I've ordered what seems like a good power supply tester but that won't arrive for another 10 days which feels like an eternity.
Usually, I chuckle at folks who give up on their computers and want to walk away, cut their losses, and just get another. But if when I get the power supply and it tests good, I'm tempted to just declare this computer haunted and walk away.
