He had been having random shutdowns and trips for many days. ( it was really probably down to the mountains and lightning TBH)

Computers had problems with installing. Best explanation was ‘its Thursday’… After a lot of troubleshooting it became evident that some people installed laptops withouth the powersupply plugged in, causing bitlockerissues.
