Always the power supply. Never really had any other parts go bad on me.

PCI-E SSD's. Never lasts for more than 6 months. On my 4th one right now, HDD's are far more reliable. Am only using a PCI-E SSD as boot drive now. The speed is addictive.

Random keyboard keys. Usually starts with 'z' and slowly spreads randomly from there. At first, I'd have to press 'z' a few times before it gets registered as a button_press and then it goes back to normal. This pattern repeats until sometimes when pressing 'z', 1, 2, 3, or more button_presses will get registered. This is right around the time where the issue spreads to more keys.

Power supply, just once. Never had problems with HDD or anything else for 20+ years using PC/laptop now.

Mouse for me.

Throwing it across the room repeatedly probably doesn't help

My crappy hard disks always crash within a two-year time span. Lost so much invaluable data.

All the mouse i have owned not even a single one has the scroll wheel working. They all fail after 1-2 months of use.
Now i have learned to live without scroll wheel.
