I can't seem to find similar opinions out there so I am feeling like this belongs more in r/aita but are does anyone have a good channel on YouTube for people who teach others how to fix PCs? Everything popping into my algorithm results are just people who guess and swap parts.

"PC won't turn on? Swap the Motherboard, CPU, Case, Power Supply, and CPU cooler (so only really keeping the SSD and RAM)!" This mentality doesn't teach newer generation of PC enthusiasts much and gives the impression that taking care of issues themselves is costly.

The "Fixing a Viewer's Broken PC" string of videos by Greg Salazar are exactly what I am talking about as not being helpful. I've never once heard him mention an Event Log or do any investigation.

Does that sort of diagnosis even apply anymore? If reinstalling Windows, setting BIOS to fail safe, and reseating all devices doesn't fix the issue you're looking at hardware replacement.

To answer your question, I'm partial to Jayztwocents.
