PC - Back in Business (Patreon)

Well, my Art Box is up and running again. I'm almost certain the culprit was the ASUS Thunderbolt 3 add-on card that was causing the barfing.  I managed to purge the BIOS and do a full reset which would let me get past POST and into BIOS again.  But, the machine immediately fell over once I restarted the Thunderbolt subsystem in BIOS.

So, OUT went the card. It was in there only to drive the Cintiq to 4K resolution. Thankfully, some smart people online discovered that we *can* get 4K resolution from the Cintiq Pro using the DVI Link... if you threw away the DVI cable that came with the Cintiq and got one that's actually rated for 4K.

So, back up, still got a working art machine. Now, to turn myself into a working art machine.  Jeez.
