Odds are it is the power supply.
Back around that time, there was a company out of Taiwan that made the majority of the capacitors used in PC equipment (I can't remember the name off hand). These capacitors had a life expectancy of about 5 years before they would swell and blow the top into a dome-like shape. Viewsonic was one of the companies that got nailed by this problem and actually sold a repair kit to replace the capacitors in many of their displays.
You might "borrow" a power supply from some other piece of equipment and see if that makes a difference.

In addition to the PSU, there are capacitors on the mother board that go bad. The ones you want to look at are clustered around the PSU plug. They are typically about 10,000 mfd. If the top of the capacitor cases are rounded, that means they need to be replaced. I've had to replace them in several P4 computers. It didn't fix the problem in the last computer I tried to fix, so months later when I was planning on scrapping the computer, I powered it up for a last test. It has been running perfectly since! Don't use the computer for much as it has Windows 2000 Server installed, but I was able to back up the [probably useless] data.

Electrolytic capacitors have a finite lifespan so the first thing I'd check is the power supply.

I don't see a forum for SC/Git, so if there is let me knnow and I'll move this.
Using VS2019. I accidentally had a large ZIP file in my project folder. When I attempted to push to remote Git failed with "Large file detected".
Now I'm stuck. I deleted the large file, but the commit still shows it. There doesn't seem to be a way to remove it from the commit. I've tried Revert multiple times and that seems to have no effect. I tried a test commit and a test pust. I now seee 4 outgoing commits, including my tests and the original with the ZIP file in it.
I've Googled for the last hour and can't find anyway to undo these commits. The original commit really doesn't have much in it, and I made a backup.
How do I remove the 4 outgoing commits??? There HAS to be a way to undo this mess!!

I tried command line git commads and I get back 'Git not found'. Git is installed and the paths to it are in my environmental variables

This will rollback the last 4 commits back to the staging area (from committed to staged):
git reset --soft HEAD~4
This will rollback the last 4 commits back to the working tree (from committed to unstaged):
git reset --mixed HEAD~4
You could also use --hard if you wanted to just nuke everything back to a point (you'd lose the files rolled back though). Luckily it seems like the problem is still local, so reset should be safe from the perspective of the remote's history.
git revert probably didn't do what you wanted because it doesn't "rollback" in the traditional sense. It creates a new commit that reverts the specified commit but does not alter the history. So if the problem is a file in a commit that's causing an error, that file will still be in the history, still causing the problem.

Other than suggesting re-installing it, I'm not really sure what I could do to help with that. I don't know your system, configuration, etc.

in visual studio 2019, you need to go to "view --> manage git branches" right click the last good commit and select revert -> hard delete. this will delete/remove all commits "above/after" the one you selected. see instructions below. I think they describe the process more accurately.
I am not looking at visual studio right now, so I may have some of the label text wrong but the actions are correct.
The Git experience in Visual Studio 2019 | Microsoft Docs[^]
I have to do this every so often myself. fairly simple process.
I don't muck around with git commands, but some of my friends do. you can do this process either way: gui or command line.
also, you really need to comment your commits well, if you are not doing this. they help identify your commits better. you can always right click a commit in the list and view commit details to be sure.

I have tried this multiple times and it seems to have no effect. All commits are still there... except now the Revert link is disabled for the last good commit. The commit(s) I'm trying to get rid of are still there and when I push, the all are pushed - which errors out

Thanks for the pic. It actually helps.
Yeah, that is both interesting, and frustrating for you, I am sure. I am not entirely sure why this is not working for you.
It is not ideal, but you could copy your current local repo to a temp folder and then create a new branch off of master and copy over your current changes (in the temp folder) and commit and push.
then just delete the "bad/difficult" branch once you successfully pushed your changes to the server and merged to master.
I have done this a couple times in the past and it works. Again, not ideal, but it works.

Well now that I posted, it's fixed! The latest revert seems to have done it

Americans need to take a huge lesson from this aspect of German culture. We give way too much away for "freebies."
