well my morning got visited by yet another BSOD so I had to shift priorities and spent the last couple hours researching stuff. I'd been planning on getting a new pc but was debating putting it off a bit longer; clearly that was tempting fate. I suppose at least now I have a package to look forward to after what's supposed to be a hectic workweek
it's annoying that downgrading the graphics driver didn't fix the issue but at the same time, this pc is 6-7 years old. can't be mad at the graphics card starting to fail when other stuff has been starting to slow down the past few months
I definitely splurged on the new build but considering I don't upgrade often it felt worth it. I like knowing I'll be good for several years without needing to upgrade stuff most likely
my current pc has served me well and never had any issues (until recently) but it was kind of a Black Friday sale impulse purchase and there were a few details I definitely overlooked when I got it
but I knew I wanted to get it before October when win10 is technically 'end of life' since I'm 100% downgrading from 11 to 10 and this way I know all the parts are still compatible with 10
