    Another development, yesterday and today my computer just shows this pattern on the screen and doesn't boot when I try to turn it on the first time. It comes up after hitting the reset button. :'(

    Question System stutters with no applications running

    Unfortunately I ran into the same issue today, though it was less pronounced than usual. The computer had been on for about 15 minutes before I sat down so I don't know if that would have affected anything View: https://youtu.be/YYqzCxUCtKo Trying to play audio while it was doing this also...

    Question System stutters with no applications running

    The replacement arrived quickly and I've installed it in the system. Initial impressions are that this has probably corrected the issue. I'm going to give it a couple days to be sure before closing this thread out.

    Question System stutters with no applications running

    I've been wanting to replace it anyway since everything else in the system is black and white and that has a bunch of red all over it lol. Will acquire a newer model and report back in a few days.
