The computer woes never end... - Darth-Apple - April 28th, 2014
So on some startups, my PC won't even recognize the keyboard. Not sure if that's a keyboard related issue or if it's an actual hardware issue. I tried a USB keyboard, which didn't work, but that could be a driver issue.
Anyway, this PC has now successfully fried its video card twice, had one hard drive failure, run on damaged RAM, suffered through endless power failures on a cheap, loud PSU, and gone through countless OS re-installations. Might it be worth buying a new one entirely, even if Windows 8 comes as stock installed?

What's wrong with Windows 8? Just upgrade to 8.1, and you'll have a pleasant experience once you get used to the tiles interface...
So, yeah, definitely, you should look into getting a new one.

I had the same kind of issue with my mouse and now my WI-FI adapter when my computer comes out of sleep mode. It's likely that specific USB port, because the mouse is no longer an issue and the Wi-Fi adapter is. Everything was swapped around after a round of cleaning.
No luck on fixing it. Yet.

If you get a computer or laptop with Windows 8 or 8.1 on it, you're going to experience some problems
guaranteed.
