Back in 2014, I built my very first PC :

I7-4930k

Asus Rampage IV Black edition

Asus GTX 780Ti

16 GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X

beQuiet! Pure power 730w

Corsair H110i

Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Samsung 860 evo 250GB

Case : Cooler Master Haf X

I've never had any problems until summer 2019, when my GPU died. I replaced it with a second hand 1080ti, and 1-2 months after that my motherboard died.

At this point, I though that I might as well upgrade every other components, so I refreshed my build keeping only the case and the drives :

I9 9900k

Z390 Aorus Master

GTX 1080ti

16GB Trident Z Royal 3200Mhz CL14

Seasonic Prime Ultra Platinum 850W

Corsaire H150i Pro

Samsung 970 Evo 1TB

3 months after the new build, my CPU died. I heard it was very rare, but I tested every component and the PC only worked after I RMA'd it and got a new one.

Then in March, my PSU died. I was basically browsing the Internet when my computer shut down instantly, and then would not turn back on. No light, no fan spinning, nothing. And since it was the beginning of the quarantine I could not bring it to the store to get it replaced.

However, I tried using my old PSU (the 730W beQuiet!), and it worked perfectly... Until today... When I tried to wake up my PC from sleep, it didn't want to. I had to press the power button and every component lit up, fans started spinning, the screen turned on, showed the motherboard logo with the hot keys to enter bios, and then shut down. The PC tried to restart on its own, but shut down again at the same step.

Luckily I received yesterday a email from the store where I bought the seasonic PSU (which I returned when quarantine was lifted and the store reopened), saying that the new one would arrive on Monday.

So I've been wondering, am I just cursed by the gods of PCs or could there be an underlying problem causing my components to die one after the other?
