Pandemic Playtime: Jackbox via Twitch
Thread for organizing gaming while we’re all shut in!
I’m willing to put Jackbox up on my Twitch stream (all y’all need is access to the stream and a device with a web browser to play on, including phones!). Tomorrow or Saturday night for those interested!

Re: Last minute snow trip? - canceled!
@RyanFodder relayed via discord that he and @malia were thinking about the Seattle area and surrounding mountains. This is quite compelling to me for different reasons and i could be easily convinced that this is a "both" scenario for me.

Re: CB's instability issues
Do you have a spare PSU? If so I'd try that to isolate the PSU.
You can also pull the GPU and run from the integrated graphics to isolate GPU.
I'd also recommend running one stick of RAM at a time to see if the crashes happen with one stick but not the other.
Parenthetical aside: Good thing you have those great windows that open all the way out for when you chuck it.

Re: CB's instability issues
In terms of figuring out what is going on when it crashes, have you reviewed the System and Application logs to see if there are any consistently reported errors being timestamped as occurring just prior to the crashes? If so, this would help narrow down if one or more apps or services is involved in the issue.

Memtest86 is no longer helpful. You need MemTest64 for Windows to get an effective memory test these days.
Given the highly advanced age of your motherboard, you may also want to do a visual inspection for blown or leaking capacitors.

Re: CB's instability issues
I had a problem like this a few years ago and it was caused by the virtual memory on an aging, close to the end of its life hard drive.
I switched the system virtual memory to a different drive and the crashes stopped. The whole OS got switched to a new drive after that
