Yeahhhh this sounds like user error. We have heaps of computers in my house we’re currently using. One is a prebuilt from like 2009 (Phenom II x4) and the rest I’ve built myself. They all run incredibly stable. The old Phenom is up nearly 24/7 as a media player in the living room. It’s got some hodgepodge random RAM I found and a low-end SSD. Never crashes.
My other computers are all higher end gaming machines and the only crashes I have are when I’m playing a game that is known to crash. Never just random bluescreens or freezes. Oldest machine is 10 years, newest machine is a few months.
I also have some Linux machines and an old MacBook and those are stable as fuck as well, but man… something is wrong with your Windows usage.
