Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I had BOTH of my memory modules die simultaneously in my first beefy computer I built. I was very lucky that OCZ had a lifetime warranty—they didn’t even ask for the memtest results, they just sent me two new sticks.
Then both of my (SLI) video cards died… those too were in warranty, but I began to wonder if my computer was cursed.
Bad psu checks out
Yknow that’s what I thought! But after replacing memory and GPU, everything worked great for a year or two until I sold it! I did bring it into my work (I used to work computer repair) and used the shop’s PSU tester which passed it…. I think it was just a fluke! I do know the cards I bought (2 x 7900GT) had a bit of a notoriety for failing, but I do not think the RAM had the same issue.
If it wasn’t the PSU or motherboard, then it’s possible they were both just from a bad batch
Dirty electricity is also a possibility
Brownouts, surges, lots of electrical stuff can absolutely crap on newer electronics
I keep my PCs behind a whole home surge protector, on an isobar, and through a sinewave UPS
The friend I sold it to used the PSU and mobo for another couple years before upgrading, so I think you’re right! Just bad luck on my part hahaha. Thank goodness for good RMA policies!
