To run Task Manager means they booted Windows. To boot Windows means everything, with the possible exceptions of floating point and virtualization, is working. So try again.


Think thermals, think on-chip noise, and think circuit
marginalities. Task manager consumes next to no
CPU activity. Perfect for silicon that is nearly fully
bug-free from a logic design perspective but could
still be very ill from a circuit and/or physical design
perspective. Put even a little stress on it for a few
minutes and it may fall over.
