It’s this flavor of strangeness that has my spidey senses tingling software, it fails same point every time random instability would lead me more towards hardware. In fact I think somewhere in my trying I managed to get into full winblows on the igpu and it freaked out when I went to install the...

Oh I tried doing the reset and it failed on that hence why I’m at the point of thinking a reformat is where I’m headed. I didn’t think of checking the SSD health in CDM, I’ll jump into safe mode again and give that whirl. I’m getting sentimental in my age used to be I enjoyed nuking an install...
