       I need additional opinions, PC Enthusiasts...At its worst, PC symptoms were:1) When left awake but inactive for long periods, deadlocks2) 75% of boot attempts deadlocked during startup3) Rarely, bluescreen with "core_watchdog_timeout" error4) Even more rarely, automatic hard restarts before OS bootflow5) Literally zero problems during normal operation. Multiple tests run against all the hardware. (1/3)#techsupport #pc

       Did a full teardown and rebuild, testing individual parts along the way.It's not the GPU, repro with a different cardIt appears that the fewer parts connected, the less frequently it deadlocks. For example, I removed two SATA SSDs during the rebuild and the machine was able to stay up overnight, which it previously was notBut the very next reboot deadlocked. And hasn't deadlocked in the following 3+ rebootsPSU tester reports all green but obviously that's not under loadRAM replaced completely(2/3)#techsupport #pc

       The only possible culprits left, as far as I can tell, are motherboard, CPU, or power supply stability (like, something is happening when components try to wake up from low power states) Or maybe one of the M.2 drives. Seems highly unlikely? I've booted UBCD from USB many times without deadlocking, but I don't think that means much given the simplicity of UBCD(3/3)#techsupport #pc

       @jeff @neatchee Second checking/replacing the cmos battery. They cause all sorts of random weirdness, intermittent issues, etc, when they start to fail, and often it looks like the issues are caused by something else.
