second hand smoke *not pictured

I built a new PC from the ground up a few year back. Every morning when I would sit down to start working I noticed it had rebooted around 6:30 am. I searched through every single log, ran all sorts of hardware scans, checked power outputs, dug through everything in Task Schedulers, and could not find a single reason it would keep rebooting. There were no Event Logs showing the reboot was initiated and no minidump files so it wasn't a BSOD.

I woke up early one morning and sat in my office waiting for it to reboot and nothing. The next morning I go in my office at 8 and it had rebooted. Some mornings it would reboot and others it would not. I was convinced it had to be my power supply and was about to order a new one.

Then I came downstairs right at 6:30 one morning and caught my son walking out of my office. Turns out he was going into the office every morning and holding down the power button and forcing a reboot because liked watching all the RGB light turning all at once when it would turn on.

Read the headline and thought: that's going to be a red state. Clicked on it and confirmed.

I always wash new things separately now, after a I bought my son a Sonic blanket. That thing covered everything in the washer and dryer with blue fuzz.

Only if you spread syphilis while you do it

I've repositioned my side mirror to shine back at them. Usually gets them to back up a little bit.
