(KDW2) All the fans are running and the system temp reported by "heat" is only 107-109. It seems to run for an indefinite period of time until you login and start network traffic. I got it to run for several hours last night before it froze up on me. It seems that the reason it was freezing so fast eariler in the day was that both setiathome processes were trying to send results back to the server and that froze the machine. After deinstalling seti it ran fine for a long time before the behavior was seen again after stressing the network a little. I have swapped out ethernet cards, I was running a 3Com905c to a linksys I had lying around. Could this be related to the random restarts people on the list were reporting with this 3Com card? I won't know if switching cards worked until later today as I have to wait for my isp to update their database with my ne ethernet address.
