A few weeks back, I tried running Ollama on my main Windows 11 rig. It should have been effortless, but it quickly turned into a nightmare of system freezes and cryptic errors. The issues vanished only after I completely wiped Ollama, leaving the root cause a mystery. The Workstation Rig (Initial Attempt): Processor: Intel Core i7-14700K (20 Cores, 28 Threads, 3400 MHz) Memory: 32GB RAM Storage: 512GB NVMe + 1TB SSD Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 3060 Series OS: Windows 11 Instead of wrestling with my Windows workstation, I’ve decided to pivot.
