As a software developer, I especially loathe dealing with hardware issues. Box keeps freezing. No logs. No help. No clue. 🤷at least I know it's not thermals (cause those show in logs)

I actually resolved a hardware issue recently by throwing Claude at the Windows system logs. It spotted something I couldn't.

Yeah the first couple of days were event log dives. Consistently nothing, which is its own clue. Chased a couple of ghosts that way for a bit, didn't find anything worthwhile. Various environmental factors made me go back to the "unlucky dust mite" hyposthesis.
