Excuse the mess

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’m reimaging a machine this morning. This one proved to be a little tricky as the hosed OS was masking an actual hardware failure. So while I knew I could fix the blue screens with a nice, clean reinstall, I couldn’t even start the reinstall until I identified that the RAM was bad. A quick switch out with some extra RAM I had laying around out of an old machine fixed that problem, and then I could get to work on the blue screens that were still there, by doing a clean install. Fun, fun let me tell ya’!
