My partners brother is a complete moron.
I fixed a computer that was crashing and rebooting all the time by switching out the power supply with my old one and replaced the ram, while I was at it I also changed the thermal paste on the cpu as the pc had not been used in years and was all dried up. After about 2 hours of switching out parts and reinstalling windows and software I finally get the pc running normally again with no problems.
Now this is where the dipshit and his almighty knowledge of the gods comes in.
He is convinced that because I fixed it, it must still be broken because it was not him who fixed it, he takes my ram out and replaces it with new ram he just brought and the computer starts crashing with blue screens again…. 4 DAYS he is trying to fix that computer because he is convinced that the ram he JUST brought is not the problem despite the fact that is was working perfectly before he fucking changed it.
And so he finally buys new ram, And now cannot seem to install windows from a usb, absolutely refusing my help he spends the next full day staring at a blank screen like he is going to fix it using only the power of his mind!
Now it has been a few months since all this happened and it is working again, but only now has he realized that my power supply in still in there and he has brought a new one, he is also going to remove all my thermal paste and replace that to.
Now here is the good bit, I replaced the wifi card in it with a 300mbps one "it only had a 150mbps card in it" and now he thinks the new wifi card is too powerful for the computer and it is going to "short it out and blow up"
And this is what I have to live with for the next several months.
PS: It is not his computer its the pc in the lounge room, I fixed it so my partner could use it.
Edit: He reinstalled windows because I installed my copy on there, and not his.
