I’ve been facing issues lately. A few weeks ago I kept having “lockups” where the keyboard and mouse would stop working. It turns out my crappy mouse was causing all USB ports to stop working. I noticed that the PC would still go to sleep and the clock was still working.

Yesterday I was having a weird issue with a site where I couldn’t download files. It worked on every other device I own so I decided to restart. After restart the PC would boot to a black screen. The actual monitor was still on just not displaying.

I already back up my home folder to a second drive automatically so after searching for an answer to this issue and finding nothing I just decided to switch to fedora and see what that’s all about.

It seems like it’s one thing after another lately and I just needed to use my PC. I guess a fresh install every once in awhile isn’t a bad thing.
