Well bad hardware is less likely than its trying to overwrite memory it doesn't own. If he is being attacked, and it is a buffer overflow exploit, than overwriting memory it doesn't own is more likely than it being repeatidly hardware, especially after his system has been working fine all this time. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas T.
