Adam's gaming PC has started to regularly blue screen.

Oh, you don't say.

So it's been, the Windows installation has been there for six months or more?

I have absolutely no idea what to do about it.

Blow out the dust.

Oh, yeah.

All kidding aside, when I last regularly used Windows, and we were talking before even the bootleg

started, Marco and I were, that I haven't

regularly used Windows in like a VM anyway since like 2018. And I don't think I've had a Windows

installation since like the early 2010s. Like I think I went maybe even earlier than that, like late aughts, early tens. So it's

been a long time since I've used Windows for more than literally five minutes. But when I was a

devout, or maybe avid, I guess I should say, Windows user, it used to be, the rule of thumb was,

every six months, you destroy everything and put it back where it was. And start anew,

so you would clean out all the cruft and get all the junk out. Now, it would not surprise me if that

is not at all the case today. But how long has Adam's computer been operational? That was Tiff's

first gaming PC from like two and a half or three years ago something like that and so there's a number of factors

here so number one it is it was very well spec at the time it has the mobile uh invidia um 2080

so it's actually a pretty well specced computer for for, you know, whatever, two years ago,

whenever, you know, whatever we bought it. The downside of the 2080 in a laptop and whatever

that giant version of it was to begin with is that it's a very large, very hot running GPU.

And so already I'm thinking, oh, no, this laptop that worked totally solidly for, you know, two years,

and that all of a sudden has started like blue screening regularly while playing games,
