That's your answer. Hardware error. Most likely incorrect application of heat transfer compound between the CPU and the heatsink, or blocked or defective fans. If your CPU has overheated even once, you can't trust it any more, unless it has an automatic cutoff like Core and Core 2. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
