x120e memory is different than the x130e so no shortcut there.

I am relaxed. Feel the muscle tension wash out. From the eyebrows to
the toes. :)

Fortunately no reboot counters here to lock the system really up.

I got a little list.

To get to anything more will require pulling the keyboard. that is a
real big task on a Lenovo.

Rather humid here, so static was not likely. I think the best memory
test is different memory, which is why I have to see if I have
something here that matches.

Recently purchased referb. I ran its Win10 for a month to make sure
it was not almost dead. The SSD was brand new.
It ran well, doing the install of >1500 rpms and built the kernel
before it died. I first concern was heat death. It did not feel
hot. My x120e gets hot, this 131 was not hot when it shut off the
first time.
The way it stopped, makes me think it was at the write boot
instructions and really messed up (bricked), or memory died.
First work with the memory before going shopping on ebay again.
