My team ran a desktop fleet for a few years. Power supplies were a top 3 failure component, and tended to go in waves when an OEM got screwed by counterfeit capacitors or other components.

My guess was that bad power was a contributor to many other issues, but the nature of the SLO was such that more complex issues resulted in a device swap. Also, any kind of dirty environment drives higher AFRs.
