@GaryD as much trouble as this has been. In the end you will be glad you did it. It is satisfying to know you can do it yourself and all the troubleshooting you have done will make you more adept to handling future issues. So worth it to know how to build and work on your own machines.


The real story... After I ran that memtest86 for 6.5 hours, had discovered the bios needed updating, which had a prerequisite of updating the Intel management Engine, I thought, "this could be it". And got excited.

But, like a big swing trade, the odds were against it. And a few minutes into moving a few charts around it browned out. I set up a return of CPU, mobo, PSU. (exchange of the processor). Then started to take it all apart for shipping Screw it, not worth it. (Called "revenge trading")

But, the move away from my custom built is not real. It is fully diverged. And it will happen. LOLOL!!!


I then jumped online, bought a new mobo, paid for next day shipping (plus bought the same CD drive but $10 less which paid for half my shipping, aka scalping...) , the exact same model to not have to reload everything. I also have another brand's PSU and mobo here in a bag, just waiting.

It will work, and I have working hardware now, so how long I have to wait out a trade it what is never known.......

When you install Windows on bad hardware, you always want to reinstall it after you have known good hardware. It's a mistake to not reinstall.

What then would be the easiest way to maintain any of the download and update work?

just buy Noctua or Noiseblocker - much easier, faster, more reliable
