Alec, Talked to Gary at DPS on Monday. They're not sure what the problem is, but are at least working on it. He THINKS it may be the software, something to do with corrupted links (?). Being that it's an intermittent, seemingly random event, though, the exact cause may be elusive….After reading all the new messages on this thread about fans, though, I get the sense that it might be hardware after all, or perhaps a combination of the two…. I decided to pop open the hood of my Micron speedster and find out just how much heat was being put out by the various parts. The drive itself seems relatively cool. The PAR BOARD on the other hand–whew! I literally cannot keep my finger on some of the circuits they're so hot. And I've only had my machine on for an hour! I'm installing a fan pronto and crossing my fingers…..If the system has another schizophrenic attack I suppose I'll try to get both the drive and board replaced and start over with some heavy AC. Until then, will continue to watch this thread. Am grateful to everyone for their help. Alan
