Backstory:
The problems started sometime around EARLY FEBRUARY 2025.
I was making a blogpost when I needed to check something with the mail or dishes when all of a sudden,
My Previous Build BLUE-SCREENED on me.
Since I needed to have a more stable system without Blue.... or Black Screens,
I was planning on swapping out some components.
I got a new SSD with the intention of cloning one of my drives but when then a
WINDOWS UPDATE didn't go through properly on THURSDAY night of AUGUST 13 2026
where parts of the update hung but for some reason didn't BLACK SCREEN on me but it did this weird thing
where some how some apps refused to open even after double clicking.
And then a THUNDERSTORM happened in the EARLY MORNING of AUGUST 14 2026.
With that, I finally made the decision to rebuild but this time with a new motherboard and a new SSD for the WINDOWS 11 PRO install.
And because of the THUNDERSTORM of that particular FRIDAY,
I'm calling my new PC BUILD:
MAVERICK THUNDERBIRD 9950RT.
I'll update this BIO when the time permits.
