The bricking of the toaster (updated)

General
So of course it’d be in the middle of a record breaking arctic storm that my PC decided it’s had enough and starts to break down.
Short version, it freezes dead after about five minutes, under load or without. Current theories are either the power supply is failing, or the CPU is. Gonna see if anyone local can fix it but I’m not holding my breath. Now, before anyone panics, all my important documents have been moved off to Google Docs so even if I do cave and get a new desktop I shouldn’t lose any progress.
So! How are y’all faring against your own personal real world Frostpunk?
Update: PC was sent off to the local repair shop today. They’re leaning on the cause being the CPU breaking down as well. There’s no ETA on when it’ll be up and running at this time.
Update 2: Turns out I was wrong on both guesses. It was the GPU going out. Replacement part should be in Tuesday.

Quite a surprise to finally see a new journal from you after a couple years.
