Fortunately, my dad wanted to help me today. He brought my computer to a service. And I received the answer. The power supply has died. I used it for only two years. It is still in warranty. The warranty will expire on 20 December. I already asked if they are going to replace it. It wasn't very expensive, but I didn't expect it to last for such a short time. I took care of my computer, I always turned it off when I didn't need it.
I have two broken objects. I have a broken computer and a broken thermos. My so-called friend told me that he couldn't understand why I had so much bad luck. He can't understand why all my objects have problems. I asked him when I said all my things were broken. I have only two broken things. I stopped talking to him because he made me very angry. I can't stand when people do this. They judge and exaggerate everything. They use the words always and never. I had bad luck, but this doesn't mean that all my things are broken and nothing is good. These words discourage me even more. He even said that nothing is good for me. I thought he was a friend and I could share things with him. But I don't want to talk to him again.

If you're one of those people who are constently turning off your computer when not in use, it can cause surges in your machine. It's better to let them sleep or hybernate. Puts less strain on the power and the machine. Sometimes the voltage coming from the wall can spike. If something's plugged in that's going to go through that power supply,too. Nothing you did or have control over. I always buy at least two power cords when I get a computer just in case.

that's what I have done to a lot of people that I THOUGHT
was a friend, but it seems like they don't think about how
they say things that make us want to disown them.
So can you get them to replace the computer or get 1 that
last longer than 2 yrs ? that's why I have 4 computers ha ha ha
a desktop a laptop & 2 tablets they keep me busy.

It's better to have more than a computer if we can. My family has a computer too, they said they would borrow theirs if I didn't have my laptop. I still have no computer, it will take a long time until I will receive an answer. I had a lot of online work exactly when my computer couldn't be used. Of course, I used my laptop and everything was fine. I sent them my broken PSU and I am waiting for an answer, but after the holidays I will receive an answer.

@dya80dya Good luck I don't think I could adjust to not
having a computer of SOME sort.

@2ndchances24 Me neither. I have to work online and be busy with my computer, laptop, or phone. Thank you, they replaced my product with a new one.

Whatever we buy must be maintained frequently and do not let the temperature exceed 40 degrees because generally that shortens the life of the electronics.Therefore, every time we buy something there is a description, for example, the hard disk should not be at a temperature of 70 degrees. For the processor itself, it has a resistance of up to 120 degrees Celsius.
