computer saga act 3: it's cooked. in short, it seems most likely that the board is broke and the cpu may also be broke. i am currently considering my options but it seems i'm going to be out of service for 2-6 weeks, which is going to delay the resumption of the photo meets. apologies!

i thought it was just memory issues but i can't get it to stay up for longer than 2 minutes. what seems to be happening is that shortly after each boot the xhci controller stops responding followed by the nic & gpu. the chipset may be toast

i'll keep poking at it but it looks likely that i'll be buying new. this system is 6 years old now so i'm considering upgrading to some newer kit as opposed to buying new old parts but still undecided. in either case it's going to take some time.
