I've had this PC for a decade. The sole virus I ever ran was a Windows reinstall after moving to Linux, and it turned out none of my hardware was compatible.

I understand they're not costly, but I'm worried about whether I can afford the rent this month. I'm trying to repair the computer using what I already have before I can afford an upgrade, as this equipment is far past its expected lifespan.

1. replace cmos battery on older motherboards that lose voltage.
2. obtain a much better psu; 5 or 10 years for rosette only ever had a 3-year warranty.
3. moving windows to a new ssd doesn't resolve driver conflicts, particularly when changing boards.
4. ram speeds are unstable; reduce maximum ram speed to the maximum of 2400.

I hope you manage to pay rent this month, brother. If the electricity bill is high, consider trying some cheaper options. Going back to Windows after using Linux could have been a big mistake.

It's been a week since I took out the SSD, and I haven't experienced any crashes.

Let us know if it occurs again, otherwise we may think this is resolved. A defective storage device.
