My computer is in a room that has the window open 90% of the year. I have to reseat video cards, memory chips, hard drive connectors every once in a while. I'm fairly sure it's due to humidity and oxidation hurting contacts

A frequent problem.her drives are likely daisy chained and the connector at the mother boardmay have lost it's connection.

We shall see.
