Mineral / commodities business in Tucson, AZ. ACG client on a per-incident (break-fix) basis — NO prepaid block and NOT an RMM / monitoring client. Work is billed per ticket at standard rates. This is a thin seed article (first compiled 2026-06-10 from the CyndyOffice freeze diagnosis); expand as more is learned, like the other client articles.

Infrastructure

Sparse — only what surfaced during the 2026-06-10 freeze diagnosis. Expand as more of the environment is documented.

Workstations

  • CyndyOffice — Cyndy's primary desktop.
    • Hardware: HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2xxx (AMD, 16 logical CPUs, single 16 GB Kingston DIMM, 1 TB WD SN530 NVMe).
    • Identifiers: Product # (SKU) 318G6AA#ABA; Serial / Service Tag 2MO21549RB; motherboard HP 8906; BIOS F.38 (updated from F.36 on 2026-06-10).
    • OS: Windows 11 Home, build 26200.
    • Line-of-business app: QuickBooks Enterprise 22.0 (2022 edition — past Intuit support). QuickBooks Tool Hub installed.
    • RMM: A GuruRMM agent was installed temporarily for diagnosis only on 2026-06-10 and fully removed the same day (services + binary + data dir uninstalled, server-side record deleted). This client does not pay for RMM/monitoring.

Email & Identity

  • Domain umint.com. Platform (M365 / Google / on-prem Exchange) [verify].

Access

  • Syncro: customer 34844920.
  • Vault root: none yet (clients/universal-minerals/ not created in vault — no credentials captured this engagement).

Patterns & Known Issues

  • CyndyOffice intermittent hard freeze / forced power-off (under investigation, 2026-06-10). The machine locks up solid and must be force-powered-off. Event-log signature: ~20 occurrences over 6 weeks, each a Kernel-Power 41 with bugcheck code 0 and NO crash dump, paired with a 6008 dirty-shutdown; no WHEA hardware errors. With crash dumps confirmed enabled, the absence of any dump means these are true hardware/firmware freezes, not a Windows BSOD/software crash — the event log goes silent at each freeze and resumes only at next boot. Ruled out: SSD healthy (0% wear), sleep/wake (no auto-sleep on AC), AV conflict (Defender only), idle thermal (~30C). Fixes applied 2026-06-10: BIOS F.36 -> F.38, Fast Startup disabled, Windows Memory Diagnostic PASSED, orphaned mbamchameleon (Malwarebytes leftover) service removed. Prime remaining hardware suspect = PSU (stock HP Pavilion supply) if it recurs. Diagnostic detail: cyndyoffice-physical-hp-lockups.

  • QuickBooks messaging crash-loop (separate from the freeze). QuickBooksMessaging.exe crash-loops (~15/min) with a .NET System.ObjectDisposedException updating its system-tray NotifyIcon. Log noise only, not the freeze cause. Repaired via QuickBooks Tool Hub 2026-06-10 (confirm clear once the company file is in active use). QB Enterprise 22.0 is past Intuit support — a version upgrade is the longer-term fix.

  • Break-fix client — confirm scope/authorization per incident. No standing monitoring or RMM. Any RMM agent used for diagnosis must be removed afterward (as was done 2026-06-10).


Active Work

  • Ticket #32397 — "Onsite - Computer intermittently freezing and shutting down" (Universal Minerals, In Progress).
    • Diagnosis complete; BIOS + Fast Startup fixes applied; RAM passed; boot-error cleanup done. Machine is in a monitoring window to confirm the freezing has stopped (freezes had been every 1-3 days). RMM removed, so monitoring is now manual / customer-reported.
    • Contingency (documented publicly on the ticket): if freezing recurs, next step is a full hardware diagnostic (extended memory + drive/power testing) plus a backup and clean Windows reinstall to rule out OS corruption — ~1-2 days of machine downtime.
    • Billed: 1.0h onsite, $175.00, invoice #67810 (2026-06-10). Client emailed the work summary + contingency note. Invoice PDF send is a GUI step (no verified API endpoint).

Compilation Notes

  • Seeded 2026-06-10 (HOWARD-HOME/claude-main) from the CyndyOffice freeze-diagnosis session log, Syncro customer 34844920, and ticket #32397. First article for this client.
  • Break-fix / no-RMM client — the GuruRMM agent on CyndyOffice was a temporary diagnostic tool, removed same-day.
  • Flagged [verify]: Cyndy's full name/role; email platform for umint.com; Syncro tax-rate assignment; the rest of the on-site environment (server? other workstations? network?).
