Here is what I have done: |
| 15 |
1.) Disable Network controller on the motherboard and install another |
| 16 |
one on PCI bus - this eliminate possible IRQ conflict. |

2.) Removed the heatsink clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol and applied |
| 20 |
thin layer of new heatsink grease. |

Next option, is to try to remove SATA drive and try to install Gentoo on |

If the IDE drive will not solve the problem I'll try as you suggest that |
| 31 |

| 32 |
Winter - here in Edmonton sometimes it gets down to -40C it might |
| 33 |
help :-> |

|
| 35 |
I'm simply running out of ideas. |
