[@Antarctic Termite] We need to talk about your Swiss halberd problem. Especially now that the Vatican guard have become involved. Have you tried defragmenting your hard drive?

I tried, but the Pope messaged our group chat declaring an official papal bull against the act, so I think he might be in on this. 

(I have. It's just the one computer I set up about a year or two ago, that eventually started suffering simple crashes which slowly increased in frequency and severity until Windows was unable to reinstall. I moved to Linux for the extra stability, but the problems have slowly started to crop up again even so.) 

(Having run a bunch of scans I've ruled out any problem with the software, graphics card+drivers, and probably the hard drive, which means it's a chronic issue with the CPU (or /possibly/ motherboard). I've basically dealt with the problem by installing a more stable operating system each time, but now that even Ubuntu is down I'm forced to face the fact that I'll have to dig deep into my shallow pockets to shell out for another processor.)
