It better drop a lot or you will be ticked LOL.
The HDD would be the leading cause
That was late summer, the old BI machine, running Linux Mint is my daily driver, has zero issues, and I run the BI machine headless with RDP.
I had that experience on my i7-3770. just freeze, whatever was on the display. chased a few ghosts ram sticks, graphics card, the SMR WD blues were only part of the problem, they really sucked at playback. fucking horrible.Be careful about chasing ghosts. I ran BI on Win 10, i7-3770 for years just fine. Last summer the machine would freeze. Just freeze, whatever was on the display froze. Nothing in the logs. I pulled ram sticks one at a time, cleared BI and reinstalled,did a clean install of Windows several times. No change.
Got my current BI i7-6700 from eBay, installed Linux Mint on the old machine, because, why not?

the March 23rd 2020 or 2019 driver at nvidia. That did the trick with my version of Intel graphics.
