I have dealt with this for a some months now. My computer would switch off, but then restart, without warning. This was traced back to an electrical storm also a some months ago. It was tolerable and I could even work around it. But now it is worse... The Computer has become very resistant to turning on at all and switches off without warning several time in a session. This has come up just as I have the money to get the necessary fix made.

So I will be getting the parts next week

Ryzen 9 3900x
and Win10 Professional

I already have a SSD, and motherboard. I still want teh32Gb of RAM with the possibility of doubling that. And finally a new video card. I'm still shipping that.

Hopefully, I will not need much afterwards. Mainly my software. I have put off getting the latest version of Paintshop Pro because I am not clear on if it will work under Win10. But everything else should be fine. I use mostly open source and that is regularly updated.

Any way, as unreliable as I have been as of late, I'm likely going to be even more so for the next couple of weeks while I wait for the parts to arrive.

All this because I couldn't just get a new motherboard for the CPU I already have.


Sorry about all this. I really wanted to return to Commissions not just submissions this week. But If I can't trust my own computer to keep working, what choice do I have?
