My PC has been unstable over the last several months, and I felt it was time to upgrade or use my Linux partition, but I realized it was my PSU that was causing all of the issues. It has already killed my R9 290X, and now it has killed my Samsung 850 Evo. I maintain backups of my Windows partition, so I haven't lost much data, however losing my R9 290X, especially in the current GPU market, is quite disappointing. Everything else appears to be in working order, but this serves as a warning to check more than your motherboard or Windows install when your computer becomes unstable.
Do you have troubles with stability? Examine your power supply.

Yeah it took me many years to learn why a (quality) 450watt PSU would cost 6x more than a (made-to-die) "750watt" PSU.
