June 27 - Data Transferred, Troubleshooting (Patreon)

Fortunately, the Z600's drives survived yesterday's PC failure, and most of the files have been transferred. It's going up to 41 Celsius today (about 106F), so I'm just going to stay home with the A/C and try to get the Z600 up and running again. The 3130's render speed seems painfully slow after more than 6 months with the new rig.

[Update 12:53] Still troubleshooting. One of the errors was a possible dead battery on the board, so I installed a new one. It took some time, but I correctly guessed the BIOS password ("admin" followed by the serial number) and reset the clock. Finally got Windows to boot, and now it's time for scans, cooling fan verification and installing some thermal monitoring software.

[Update June 28] Everything seems to be back to normal.
