Could be, but how does it know when to cut out? On startup, everything
is normal until the login screen should appear.

I will investigate that. There is no graphics card, but I check things
generally. There is an old hard disk which I have been unable to use
(some problem with the volume group that I have never resolved). It
holds an old system (Debian 7) which F12 at startup offers as an
option (it would not work). However, the computer is trying to access
that old disk on startup, particularly just at the point of failure (I
can hear it). Debian 11, which it should be using, is on an SSD. I am
thinking I should disconnect the old disk, maybe it is failing and
causing trouble somehow.
Thanks for the offer of the old machine, Bob, but I am afraid it is
far too large. The one I have now just fits the space available. If I
have to go to Rocket Repairs for a new board, so be it.
