Okay, I'll admit right up that I am not a computer geek-know nothing about 
them. BUT in my graphic shop here I have all kinds of 'electronic' things-high 
quality printer for vellum, engraver, digital printer, vinyl cutter, etc. What 
I've learned over the years is that humidity (and lack of it) contribute 
greatly to how your computers (and electronics) work. Too dry, and static 
electricity builds up and can wreak havoc on how things work. My expensive 
printer-has a setting in it to compensate. One of my plotters has a 'pot' that 
you can adjust with a fine screwdriver. The cutters also have 'antistatic' 
tinsel to dissapate the static. If you don't get rid of it, a little crackle of 
static can shut things down, corrupt data feed, screw up settings...I know in 
the past someone here was talking about setting their Big Red on 'anti static' 
floor mats to get rid of it. For awhile I had a cutter and an automatic 
screenprinter 'grounded' with a wire direct from the chassis to the grou
 nd plug on the wall outlet.
I even had to hook a ground wire to my wedding band to run some special ink on 
materials one time it got so bad.
So...my thoughts are-seeing the weather reports with some areas of the US in 
severe drought/heat-check everything for static electricity-add grounding, anti 
static floor mats, etc.
Might be well worth it!
