Scared of using my computer

[Roshii]

I am just tired of me computer desktop. It has a brand new CPU but it doesn't last a freaking month and it has problems that won't solve until I buy a legal OS for it... But wait, there could be more problems even after buying it.

I can still draw on it but I have to limit myself drawing it for 2 hours since the thing just literally shuts off itself, improperly, basically damaging itself if I take too long using it... I dunno why it has that problem after I moved it to a new room that has a new installed power outlet and there. It is just worse than bluescreen. Yes, I am using a pirated Win 10 and the only problem to fix bluescreen if I buy the OS but not sure about the shutting off on its own problem would fix.

I am not so comfortable with computers anymore to be honest.. Went through so many problems of it especially the last CPU I had.. which also didn't last a YEAR of usage.

I asked for online for help but people guessed what the problem is, it just stresses me out more and mostly is so much a worse problem to hear or I can't understand it.

My parents tend to blame me for the computer problems and sure, is not like I needed more stress in my life.

So after all this, I just wanna give up using computers. Of course, other things has problems that can happen but come on, I just bought a new one and it is like the same as the old one, cause it doesn't last for a few months so boom, more stressful problems that will be solved through cash!

I also thought of if I should be getting an ipad. Just gonna try and save up but man it's very expensive so are there any other alternatives? Is ipad really the best though?

I just dunno anymore. orz I am just gonna deal with what I have now..

Not trying to sound rude, but have you tried to call a technician or take it to the shop where they fix computers? I know some charge more for some stuff that dummies like me can't figured out how to fix, but could be cheaper than buying an iPad imho

Be aware that Apple stuff are expensive af (if you also want to get yourself a stylus, earphones, and stuff like that), altought you can buy a chinese version of it, not sure if they are good tho, so I can't say much about it

Already have it checked up not too long ago because of the bluescreen problem. The CPU is basically fine. Just the OS that needs to be updated but can't since I am using pirated version.

But of course.. The effort of going back to the technician.. is freaking far away.

I dun wanna stress my parents more for this plus I just need to earn money at the moment.

The shutting down on its own problem happened cause I just moved the computer to a new room with a new power outlet installed...

Just throwing this out there, have you considered using Linux? It's a free open-source OS that a lot of people use (including me).

The only downsides are -

1. It will be a bit unfamiliar at first if you're not used to it, but honestly after a while it's just as easy to use as anything else.
2. A lot of programs that work on Windows don't work on Linux. However there are often ways around it or analogous programs that will work instead. For example, MS Office won't work, but OpenOffice and LibreOffice will. Clip Studio Paint won't work (the reason I mainly use a Windows laptop now) but Krita will.

It's possible to install the OS on your computer alongside Windows, so you can use it without deleting Windows or any files. It's even possible to install it on a USB stick and boot your computer with it.

I had a bit problems using Krita especially it's something that needs a lot of space so it tends to lag? (actually haven't tried it in my new CPU yet...)

I am using Medibang Paint now.. and sad to see it doesn't support Linux.

I would give Linux a try though.
