    i was just thinking, there is a computers u have had thread, but no how they have died. so i thought why not make one.

    any way i have killed 3 computers in my life

    one: a Compaq presario from 1998 i put windows ten on it and it died painfully, i just feel sorry for its 256mb ram and its GHz single core AMD processor.

    two: a Fujitsu laptop which was dropped of a desk which murdered the screen and some bits inside it and then it got to the point where it would not start up.

    and three: a dell optiplex gx620 which i overheated by putting a corei3 inside it which fried all the circuits and it died a horrible death, but i soon made all of the bits from inside it into a diagram at school.

    I killed a laptop some years ago. It overheated because I was using it in my bed.

    Spilled water into a school laptops' intake fan when it ran underneath due to a slanted table. I just logged off and left it in a really awkward place :D

    A Dell GX 260 randomly died on my one morning. Wouldn't start up, but everything was fine from the outside. CPU was dead cold so it wasn't getting any power.

    At least it lasted 12 years.

    How did you install Windows 10 on a machine with less than 1GB of RAM? It's the minimum requirements, it won't install without at least that,

    Also, how did you install any Core i3 on an Optiplex GX620? It's a socket LGA 775 motherboard, and the oldest i3 ever made was for LGA 1156.

    so many questions...

    I've never killed a computer.

    My laptop is pretty broken but that is a factory defect so I can't count that really.

    I killed an E-Machine once, it was the best day of my life, it basically got full of dust, overheated, and died, so after that, my Gaming PC had its first case instead of being mounted to the wall lol.
