Working off a previously unknown ProFile. BLU says that everything seems to be okay. Takes formats with no issue and installs the OS and tools flawlessly. Bad Blocks and Reallocation don't show anything concerning.
Yet right off the bat things start corrupting themselves or not working. The ImageWriter vanishes out of the preferences (but Print monitoring sees it), the Preference tool itself will eventually fail (can display one tab but not another), print monitoring loses its marbles for the inkjet and plotter drivers, then the tools begin to flake and then finally the OS itself starts to flake where it won't work on one reboot but will on the next. Makes the system really hard to work with when tools randomly stop working or the entire system hangs. Doesn't seem to matter if the machine runs hot or cold.
Sometimes using the repair option form the install set fixes it but otherwise you are forced to reinstall which is both time consuming and very annoying. I have tried with different Parallel cables.
