I've been having an issue with my computer deadlocking after roughly 10-30 minutes of it being on. The simple test was when the computer froze up it didn't register any inputs, caps lock didn't change any lights on my keyboard, the computer fans still ran, sound just stopped instead of tonally rattling my headphones like a regular bsod.

What are the conditions at the time of the crash? Are you actively using it? Is the screen blank, or frozen showing the last activity? Does this occur every time the computer is on, or intermittently? Does it happen in both Windows and Linux? Does it happen if you boot a live OS and leave that running for awhile? Have you done any SMART checks?

Just to further clarify the symptoms, is it true that the following all appear to stop working at the same time?

1. Video out
2. Audio out
3. Mouse in
4. Keyboard in

Also what are your mouse and keyboard like? Are they wireless? Is there anything else like a USB hub between them and the motherboard? (or maybe an internal port extender inside the PC case for front panel ports or w/e?) Have you tried a different mouse/keyboard just to check the simple stuff? Is the mouse optical sensor still on after the crash (still getting power)?

It would be useful to strip your motherboard to just the CPU and boot to UEFI/BIOS with only the monitor and keyboard attached. (You might need to have 1 RAM module installed to get the motherboard to start - this depends on some specifics of the chipset and the POST test for your board - install the RAM only if you can't get to UEFI without it). Does the crash occur in this state?

"asked"?

arright, well, you don't gotta eat any of it either in that case

This would kind of make sense if Isildur had taken the ring and tried to disassemble it and learn how its various magic effects worked, in order to extend life without the downsides.

The amount of things we've learned from the field of virology is fucking nuts.

They care about it so long as it is a wedge issue they can use to influence voters. Leading up to the election there were at least daily if not hourly stories about Palestine being posted on the fediverse. After the election there were suddenly a lot less.

30 hard drives of bitcoin, you say? Why are you asking me to turn in 20 hard drives for evidence when there were only 10 hard drives?

I don't think we're there just yet...
