PC issues like stuttering or crashes after being unplugged for 70 days indicate a power-related problem.

Have you checked the memory? If not, avoid relying on software testing without verification. I experienced a failure after initial testing succeeded. The problem stemmed from the kit not being QVL'd for either board, and some of those problems match what you mentioned. It’s curious when an issue appears at that timing. Another straightforward method is to use multiple DIMMs, booting one at a time to determine if any duplicates the issue.
The best approach depends on your goals, so I suggest starting with X and then moving to Y.
I performed three MemTest86 tests using two DIMMs—one in tandem and one solo. Everything ran smoothly with no errors. When the board reached RMA approval, the GPUs, storage, and DIMMs were transferred to another board paired with a different processor for further testing. A distinct problem appeared on a separate board with just one DIMM; inserting the other resolved the main issue I encountered. It seems the results were consistent across both units, so I recommend trying each one separately to identify the source of the problem.
I completed a standard memtest86 execution using all DIMMs and successfully passed the assessment.
