Ok, first, while I appreciate your advice, this is a brand new laptop and |
| 2 |
there's no way I'm running bonnie++ (that's prime95, right?), or anything |
| 3 |
with the words "cpu" and "burn" in the same sentence on this thing. |

Memtest86 might be an option as long as it has no potential to kill |
| 5 |
anything. I agree, it could be the heat, and that was the first thing that |
| 6 |
came to my mind, but Vista boots and runs for long periods of time with no |
| 7 |
issues. I'll check it out with the new kernel in the morning and see what it |
| 8 |
does. |
