Strangely there seem to be less reboots under heavy load but = that may just be perception. Could it be that under heavy load, the fans spin up and then the whole = rig is actually cooler? Sounds weird, I know. But that was the very first thought that crossed = my mind. Can't you just rent another one, transfer your data and then cancel the = contract on the first? That way, you really get a different rig ;-)
