Okay, now it's happening with nothing but the fsck running. It takes maybe fifteen minutes. I'm using an ASUS P5N7A-VM mobo, AMI BIOS. The NB heatsink is barely warm (fan cooled), the memory is just warm to the touch, I've blown everything out, etc. I've got two SATA disks (Seagate and WD), in a carrier well-ventilated by a fan. They are barely warm. The CD was not in use. Ambient temperature is about 83 to 86F and this machine is a mobo on a standoffs on a board (until I free up the case it's supposed to go in). Granted that I may have a HW problem, but does the way the problem has manifested suggest anything about where to start? Mark Terribile materribile@yahoo.com
