Hello everyone
The (too) long intro
I'm a win7 user (nothing against linux, using MS-only software for work, still installed Mint on the kids' machine at home), and my old work PC is suddenly experiencing various freezes and a variety of BSODs. (5 yo machine, 2 yo win7, hardware of ages between 5 and 2 years of usage).
My usual suspects were proven innocent (RAM, mobo drivers, my old duo of death, haha), I have no spare video card.
And I suddenly wondered if I could use Linux to see if I could rule out (or not !) windows software and windows drivers issues.
My question
Please, if I install linux on my system disk...
If my hardware is faulty, whatever hardware it is....
Will linux also freeze and die, on the moment my hardware fails again ?
If YES, it would be sweet. Linux fails too = definitely a hardware issue = lots of testing time saved and less suspects.
If NO, damn you Linux , you rule too much.
Could you tell me, please, if I can trust linux to die from failing hardware ?
Thank you very much !!
