Good call guys. I turned off EIST, turbo and C state reporting in Bios, and it has now been running a couple of Youtube channels and the latency test for about an hour without freezing up.

Would their still be an advatage to do intel_idle.max_cstate=1 to the kernel command line (with grub)? I don't knwohow to do that yet, so it'll take me a bit of searching to find out.

I really appreciate yor help here.

Car are a creatures of open spaces. You risk giving them claustophobia if enclosed. Far better for all to use such spaces for machines and hobbies I say.

My cars are always outside despite having plenty of covered spaces.

They can handle that and it is nice to have frozen fingers in Winter from cleaning ice and snow from it.

thanks to Andy, I now have the XFCE interface reset to the default. Not sure why a Mint download ended up as Stretch with XFCE, but that doesnt matter.

I enabled Autologin according to this how to...
steemit.com/software/@kskarthik/how-to-e...uto-login-in-lightdm

I need to check that bios battery again, as the bios had reset again after 2 days. I had checked it was at 3V with a multimeter before I installed it, and there should be almost no current draw on it. But now the POS is locking up again, even with the CPU magic deactivated in BIOS.

I am trying to upgrade from 2.7 from 2.8, while trying to get a feel for when the freeze occurs.
