Stop going to janky porn sites and downloading stuf, stop letting your kids download shit on your computer, have only 1 AV program (but have one,) scan the fuck out of it with malwarebytes and call it a day. Or re-image it and burn the down what's there. Save your pics and docs to a flash drive then re-install. A lot of times I'd say just buy a new HDD, pop the old one into a USB Enclosure and start over. An SSD is cheap enough (saw one on Newegg for 30 bucks for something like a 240G today) and will provide a nice boost if you're on a spinner.

ED:When was the last time you upgraded your browser and cleared your cache/cookies/all that shit out? Also, I'd go into your task manager and see if there's any processes consuming large amounts of CPU or RAM. Besides that go to add/remove programs and see if there's any weird shit in there. If there is go look it up and see what it does. If it seems sketchy at all delete it.

I try to avoid doing Wintel. It's like asking a diesel mechanic to work on your Honda. I do it anyways for a few people but not many.

Defrags don't do shit these days if you are using an SSD. If you aren't using an SSD then that alone will make things faster. Probably also running out of ram.

Also. Been using my thermal imager more... This is a glow plug relay. Pulls big amps. 4 glow plugs per side. If you don't see all 4 pulling loads then you have a burnt one. Outlaw OffshoreDrilling

So the first two photos are indicating bad plugs, third is good to go?

That’s a neat thing to know and a good trick to have up your sleeve. Wonder how many other things can be diagnosed like that.

Dammit, now I want a thermal imager.

A lot I bet. If you had an EFI engine I bet it works on injectors too for example. That says nothing of something like being able to examine a bearing that's been running.

Can also show me where all the heat is leaking out of my house.

No. Everything is working in the photos. I should've taken normal pics to show everything in total.

My wife’s grandfather was an avid skier. Skied all around the world, ski patrol, olympics etc etc. I found an old window at a local antique store. I used that to frame all of his ski patches and ski pins. I also took one of his old old skies and turned it into a wine decorative bottle holder.

Front main seal. Amazing how deep a rubber seal can groove a crankshaft. The shiny ring on crank is a groove

So far, two cups of coffee and tenderly working this immersion heater out of an oil sump without breaking off in the well. By tenderly I mean I needed pliers, hammer, and a prayer it didn’t tear in half.
