I once spent weeks dealing with a bizarre bug on my PC, couldn't figure it out. When it persisted in a live environment I knew it was hardware.

I found a charred moth bridging two pins on my motherboard on an unused fan header, I think it was causing enough of a voltage drop to cause issues because I don't see how a bridged fan header could cause issues otherwise
