It was *supremely* frustrating 01:09 <@Dagmar> It was only after I started writing down every little fucking thing I did before I found the commonality 01:09 <@Dagmar> I'd tried four different BIOS revisions, alternate RAM speeds, etc etc 01:09 <@Dagmar> Because I mean, immediately after the CMOS was cleared, it would be rock-solid for >24h at a go 01:10 <@Dagmar> I let it run memtest for that long at one point 01:10 <@Dagmar> Reboot it a few times tho and things would degenerate 01:11 <@Dagmar> Of course they might have just replaced the motherboard because the 14 pages of notes I sent in
