Because if GM builts computers, then...

1- Each 3 months or 5000 minutes of usage, you should replace the hard disk bearing's grease, cause it's being black and thiner. If not, you'll burn the hard disk.

2- Frequently, the computer will not start. What it can be? Maybe the power supply is broken? Maybe the start switch make bad contact or it's rusty? Maybe the copper in motherboard are rusty? Many hours to diagnose and 280$ to repair.

3- When you start the computer, it'll chime and display warning on screen if your room's door is open or if you're not seated correctly.

4- Sometime, the monitor light will dim and speaker will make roughly noise. You need to replace your video and sound card each 4 years or 80000 minutes of usage (133 days of usage).

5- Sometime, the computer will shut down automatically while you're typing an important document. What it can be? Maybe you should replace the RAM?, the CPU?, the motherboard? Or it's just a rusty contact in the circuit of the mother board in the 16th layer. 3 days to diagnose and a 1500$ bill to repair.

6- If you don't use your computer for more than 1 week, the 3V lithium battery is discharged, you need it to boost it with another computer. Ground connected and +3V connected.

7- Sometime, you'll find an acid leak outside the computer. It's coming from the electrolytic capacitor in the mother board. You need to seal the capacitor or change them. Each one will cost 50$.

8- When you move the mouse, it may make a griding sound, you need to lube the mouse or change the mouse rods.

9- Often the CPU will overheat, you should open computer, check level of coolant in CPU radiator and check if fan are operating. Also verify the thermostat. If not, you need a new CPU.

10- Often, the status light of the computer doesn't light up. You need to change the bulbs.
