So I had been getting increasing WHEA errors and noticed that computers are much more expensive, but I bought one anyway and then I had to return it. That was where we left things off, and as I was trying to pack up my old computer's data for transit to the new computer I plugged in some of the old hard drives I had, which meant I finally plugged things into every USB slot I had.
That was two weeks ago and...I've had one crash since then, about two weeks ago. I've played games for hours, let my computer sit while I was out of the house, I've been idly browsing the web, and nothing.
Was it a bad USB controller freaking out while it was idle? Was there a short and by plugging and unplugging things did I jiggle the cables around? Did the new computer scare my old computer into good behavior? Who knows. I'll just ride the wave as long as I can.
