What about a Linux Live Distro? UEFI or Legacy/CSM?

Same issue with UBUNTU LIVE and GPARTED LIVE both LEGACY or CSM

Have you tried to change the SDD/HDD. Also with different Ram Dimms?

or even try to boot from a USB media using FreeDOS -> check the RUFUS tool which offers this support.

Does FreeDOS boot ok on your box ?

media should be formatted for legacy or uefi, won't work for both.

Modern Linux LiveUSB images can typically work on both legacy BIOS and UEFI, as long as it's written properly to the USB drive of course with no tools messing with the bootloader.

Multiboot tool VENTOY can do this,
I tried all methods ... boot only on DOS interface ... when trying graphic it stuck ... most likely PCH problem

Can try to boot Linux with the following kernel parameters kernel parameters to disable CPU power savings and GPU acceleration and show information messages:

idle=poll nomodeset modprobe.blacklist=i915 nosplash verbose

I would check VCore for glitches with a DSO
