UDB hardware problem

Sorry for being a bit off-topic, since this is not a real Linux problem.

My UDB seems to suffer from a `CPU wants to escape from ZIF socket' problem.
After a few days of uptime, the machine suddenly crashes and seems to be dead.
Removing the 21066 from the ZIF socket and re-inserting it in the socket
solves the problem. Until after 3-4 days :-(

My UDB stands vertical, using the supplied stand. I put it almost horizontal (I
don't dare to put it horizontal, since cooling suffers from that) a few hours
ago. But either it already crashed again, or the DSL link to my boxes broke
down (which is more probable anyway).

Anyone with a suggestion? Should I put a large spring in between the case and
the CPU heatsink?

Greetings,

Geert
