To summarize: I swapped PSUs and graphics cards including putting the card from #3 in #4 I booted from the 2020.10 hard disk and Live Image I swapped the KVM cables and ports I tried the other PCIe slot that will take the graphics card. I put a scope on the 5 V and 12 V rails. After all tha

Gentlemen: This conversation is interesting from a number of perspectives, and none of them related to OI (in my case, though they could be at some point…) Comments about bad sync connections, lousy DVI adapters, etc. got my ears perked up. With kids forced back home last year, I’d rarely done
