Seems like you already narrowed down the problem . I would probably try to change the mother board first and cross my fingers as you said . Good luck and keep us posted on the result . <| sep |> I ' m not focusing on any relationships right now . I am happy spending all my time and money on hobbies and an education . If someone comes along then great but these next few years are for me . <| sep |> they will probably be able to carry you Oh most definitely , no matter the weight difference . When I was way younger I used to play ' tugboat ' with my mom who ways about 200 odd pounds . Even now at a robust 20 years old I myself only weigh about 120 with barely any muscle , so if 10 year old me can do it anyway can . They just need to stay calm like you said .
