I don't know if this device is comprehensive or not, but is does provide additional information which is helpful to my personal processor :)
Do you have any better or more comprehensive troubleshooting device(s) to suggest? Or does it always go back to the motherboard/CPU once the PS is eliminated. Thanks, Richard P.
