@leonix007:

Tried that, no change in fault, besides cmd will actually run for about 3 seconds longer than before. Still aborts on its own w/ no warning, fault codes, or alerts from Windows Defender/Firewall.

@edwardceng

Never heard of that before, I'll try it out and get back to you on that. Might take me a moment though. As far as patience... I've worked on cars my whole life. If it weren't for that, I'd have given up and sold off my mining equipment forever ago!
