(I finally figgured out that it conveniently placed a healthd.sh in my /usr/local/etc/rc.d). If anyone can offer it, I'd like an explanation of why healthd is halting my system. Also, I understand you can make healthd use SMB?

I thought I had a good fan, but I'll try this.. And if it doens't work there's always liquid nitrogen right? :) thanks for all the help.. I'll see if any of these tips help me.
