LOL Yeah, that one little 40v battery and matching motor is way under power/torque for that much snow at that high of a temperature. Although I bet if it had been ~10C cooler it would have gone right through it. Wet sticky snow is the enemy of all types of snow removal. That being said, my ego 24&qu...

A windows update cannot make your BIOS screen stop working. The problem is somewhere else.

Check all the connections to the GPU, make sure nothing has worked free. Try a different GPU if you have one, or try the GPU in a different system.
