You may not feel that you have not done anything to hurt your computer, and in most instances this is true. But there are a few cases where it could be your fault, and that there was possibly something you may have done to cause your computer to go wacky. Let us take a look at some of those things.

Custom built PCs – what’s the point? One problem with store-bought, off-the-shelf computers is they are well-rounded, average machines built for general use. That may not seem like a problem, and for people just needing a small home office, it isn’t. But for people using their computers for very specific purposes, store-bought general use computers are often just not good enough.
