In my experience this most often comes from a failure to perform routine maintenance, and Windows being a bloated rotting whale, decaying on the beach, slowly expanding and spreading its horrid filth across the entire system. Give your computer a new life by cleaning out all the dust, reapplying thermal paste to the CPU, oiling fan bearings, and installing a lightweight Linux distro, or at least a fresh whale carcass (clean windows install).

Not to mention the ridiculous markup on everything. The last few times I’ve looked on there the prices for generic chinese garbage was higher than name brand stuff directly from the manufacturers website. These days I’ll stop literally anywhere besides amazon.
