It was the parallel port direction that was hanging me up.
With the parallel port card that is in there and the PICO PPMC
loadrt hal_ppmc epp_dir=1
I am back to the locking up issue, it just locks up the pc when you start LCNC. I am using the onboard video at the moment with no ISOLCPU's. All the optimization, power, turbo.....is all disabled in the bios. I think I have some bare bones older video cards around I am going to look for. I have found in the past that can cause this also.

It is at least attempting to start and not lock up at the moment. Made a bios change on how cores are handling which seems like it has so far not locked up again.
Need to work through the next round of why its not happy now. The latency test and Histogram both do not show the latency going over the 1.5M so it seems to me that it may still be locking up momentarily, but working through it. This is a Dell Optiplex 9020 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, which I have seen another recent thread of his working great. Kinda wondering if I need to find another PC

Those Dell's are very good, have several of them in SFF size in use daily, but it seems you have not disabled the cr@p in BIOS like hyperthreading, speedstep, turbo, etc etc, as you are getting huge latency excursions.
The issue with :
A configuration error is preventing LinuxCNC from starting.
I get that only when the power goes off while LinuxCNC is running gcode, restoring the config from backups always fixes it.

SATA operation is on "RAID ON" I need to look into that, I thought I had found a thread where there were some issues with RAID vs AHCI causing performance problems.
Integrated NIC is enabled
serial port = disabled
audio = disabled
smart reporting = disabled
video is set to internal HD graphics
In security CPU XD support is enabled at the moment (I have not touched it )
It says this option enables or disabled the execute disable mode of the processor. The operating system can use this feature to finder software that exploits the buffer overflows.
I am going to try this one on the next startup to see if anything changes
mulitcore support = ALL
Intel speedstep =disabled
Cstates constrol = disabled
limit cpuid = disabled
intel turbo boost = disabled
hyper thread control = disabled
rapid start = disabled
deep sleep control = disabled
fan control override = disabled
usb wake support = disabled
wake on lan = disabled
block sleep S3 state = enabled
intel smart connect = disabled
virtualization = disabled
VT for direct IO = disabled
trusted execution = disabled

SATA set to AHCI
Also check if it has something like "integrated graphic memory size" and set it to 64MB or 128MB or 256MB, depending on how much RAM you have.

ok changed to AHCI. Still locking up, I get the axis toolchanger pop up momentarily, and the gcode error near line 1, then its frozen.
Can't think of the last time I got this kinda butt whipping.
I have been thinking about getting a SSD for this machine also.
I do not have any options on display. Only Auto or Internal, no additional graphics info anywhere. It does have the current BIOS version also.

Ok lets get some info.
"Frozen" does that mean Linuxcnc locks up or the whole system becomes unresponsive ?
If it is just Linuxcnc have you looked in the logs to see what may have happened ? It could be any of the logs in /var/log ?
If the whole system locks up when you reboot and before restarting Linuxcnc have you checked the logs ?
Have you tried running any of the sims ?
Have you tried running one of the PP configs, first run will fail because of the port address. So what you will have to do is change the port address to match your system. obviously you would have to disconnect your hardware from the parallel port.
Have you tried removing the ram, cleaning the ram & ram socket contacts ?
Have you tried running a memory test ?

Yes whole system is unresponsive, I have tried to leave it to see if it comes back. Nothing, have to power cycle to get it to restart

I have not checked the logs, I will head out there and do it now

Have you tried removing the ram, cleaning the ram & ram socket contacts ?
I pulled the ram, cleaned and re-installed.
After doing this it will not boot, it attempts to start and shuts back down. It did this years ago and it was thought to be a power supply. I replaced the PSU and problem went away. It appears that it is back, now I think there is something wrong with the motherboard, as removing the ram and reinstalling it upset it. I have completely lost my patience with this machine. It is about to get sent to orbit. I ordered another 9020 from a refurb shop with a SSD already in it. I have seen multiple other people with 9020's that have had good luck. I have never had such a problem getting LCNC up and running.
Have you tried running a memory test ?

New refurbed 9020 it's back and running again!
I still have a bunch of little work.
Axis runs, but my spindle speed indicator does not now. No big deal, hoping to move to qtdragon anyway.
I still need to get the pendent going it's a Vista CNC and the move to 2.8 didn't work. I don't think that will be too much of a project.
Getting the ELO touchscreen back and running is kicking my butt. lsusb does not show it's there. I installed the 3 touchscreen packages. I'll get back and rolling on it in the morning.
Finally some headway! No latency issues. I still do get the " no parallel port assigned....." Error but it's there and functional. The message is just kinda annoying.

Congrats dude.
If you finally get it recognised I found this utility great to sort it all out.
forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/42384-touch-screens#207192
does it come up in:
