I tried booting into recovery mode, wiping data cache, nope. ditto, factory reset. still nope. I reckon the ram and or ssd are fuxored. It's been prone to boot problems but periodic shut-down & reboot was the only way to restore reasonable performance, which would then degrade after a few hours use. <span class="emoticon e_sad" title=":-("><span class="e__">:-(</span></span> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42289.1&return_msg=42289.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42289.1"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42289_2"></a><div class="message" id="message_42289_2"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">29 Dec 2018 20:02</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">2 of 19</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42289.2">42289.2</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Whalp, the factory reset seems to have taken after a power off.
