Wonder if anyone can help with some advice..I was having problems with a Asus router that stopped assigning IPs, so I flashed a fresh Openwrt, hoping to fix the problem it was having. Next thing that happened when I plugged my PC into the router, the PC froze within a minute.
I held the power button to turn it off, and once it booted again Firefox disappeared completely and the Brave browser icon turned white.
I didn't want to take any chance, so I opened the laptop (Acer nitro) and put in a backup SSD I had. Upon booting with the backup SSD, I opened Firefox and it gave me a "Cannot load profile" error, and I got another windows error about not being able to log in, although I was logged in already with a local user. This backup drive has worked perfectly in this same laptop when I took it out last, weeks ago.
Any advice what to do from here? I replaced the router, and I don't think I'll be plugging that one in ever again..the problem happened as soon as I got an IP from it. How can I do the best scan on the computer, and is there any firmware scanning I can do? It seems the problem survived the reboot and interferes with the firefox profile.. which is very odd!
thanks
