PSA: I spent 3 years reseating RAM before I checked the PSU first

Back in 2019 I had a rig in my Denver shop that kept BSODing, and I must have pulled those sticks out 40 times across a week before a buddy asked if I'd tested the power supply. Swapped in a spare Corsair unit and it fired up clean, so now I hit the PSU with a tester before I even crack the case. Any of you got a step you always do first now because of one bad job?

Blew a capacitor on a customer build once, now I sniff every PSU first.
