Hey there.
I recently posted a question, here is the thread
https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/blue-screens-and-random-restarts/?ts=14935449838501
I was able to write replies at first and received valuable advice. I still haven't resolved the original issue I posted about, however since recently I am unable to post any replies.
The thread doesn't seem to be locked or anything like that. Any ideas?
