I've never had a Windows based PC make it much more than 2 1/2 to 3 years.
User error? Maybe select better brands/components?
I run my Windows laptops for about 5-6 years before upgrading to a new one. They still work perfectly fine at 5-6 years but start to get a little slow. MIL is still using an old one I gave her (9 years old now) and works fine for emails, web browsing, etc..
I built my own desktop 15 years ago:
Still using the same case.
Changed the power supply once.
Fixing to upgrade the MB, processor, RAM, and video card for only the 3rd time.
Fixing to upgrade to Win10 Pro. On Win7 Pro now. Started with WinXP Pro.
This desktop is my main machine for everything - gaming, video/photo editing, work, play, etc... It has always run very smooth and very fast.
