OK, went looking for hardware diagnostic tools. memtest86 ran all night
without reporting any problems. But cpuburn-1.4 burnK7 locked up almost
immediately. Interestingly it seems to do OK in single user mode, but if
anything else is running things go south very quickly. Usually it is a
silent lockup. In one case I got an Ooops:0002. Indications are pointing
toward some kind of hardware problem. Looks like I need to take this to
someone who has some real diagnostics, or the resources to swap out parts
until things start working. I'll let you know how this turns out.
