Dear /g/. I come with you with a weird tale.

>3 years ago
>PC has a meltdown
>literally, the hard drive melted and burned the rest of the components to shit
>still unsure as to what prompted that
>strapped for cash, buy shitty premade PC because it's on sale
>upgrade the pieces over the years, actually runs really well
>fast forward to today
>live in tiny one room apartment
>sleeping
>PC is on
>suddenly, woken up
>AC unit stopped
>darker than usual
>suddenly, it starts again
>PC is off
>assume it was a short power failure
>get up, push the power button
>won't start
>assume a fuse blew again
>oh wait, everything else is working
>oh shit
>thinking the shitty PC finally gave up on life
>try plugging it in another outlet on the power bar
>not working
>try plugging it in a completely different outlet
>not working
>start panicking a little
>hold the power button for like 10 seconds
>of course nothing happens
>get up to try and go get a screwdriver so I can open it up and assess the damage
>thing starts on its own
>wait what
>go check system settings
>all hardware functioning
>shut it down, plug it back in the original outlet
>starts up instantly when I push the power button

And shit like this is why my family thinks I'm "good with technology". I feel like I did the equivalent of hopelessly bashing a machine with a heavy wrench and somehow got results.
