in a pinch, using the Windows ssd in a USB enclosure, with my thinkpad, actually worked surprisingly well, actually got some schematic work done today

half the parts are arriving in the morning.. other half in the (late) afternoon..

biggest downside is I'd probably go down to 16gb ddr4 to save on costs a bit, with an upgrade later

memtesting was very fucky, and new motherboards for this cpu seem difficult to source too...

i have a decent upgrade list thanks to @erikk@chaos.social so might just go for that in the end

wtf, all ram back, gpu back, original psu... goes to bios just fine

Show thread

tried with the PSU from my server, identical boot failure... so motherboard and/or cpu are toast

did that, appointment on Wednesday already so not too long to worry ig

It’s a lovely lunch time in the valley, and you are a sleepy tabby cat.

from reading online it seems incredibly unlikely that a gpu would kill a whole motherboard, so the main suspect is the PSU (that was also in there when my last motherboard died)

Show thread

hmm given that it is still waiting for the pi-kvm stuff, I could also use the new server hardware as a desktop for now... but what if it's the gpu that introduces faults...

phones, dentist 

today I finally call the dentist again....
