It does sound like hardware. I'd check three things first: |

|
| 10 |
1) Are all the fans in the system working? |
| 11 |
2) Check for swollen or leaking capacitors (see |
| 12 |
http://www.trendit.co.za/capacitor.htm). This is *really* common, so |
| 13 |
don't discount it until you've checked. |
| 14 |
3) Run memtest86 overnight. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If none of these seem to be the cause, I'd try swapping power supplies |
| 17 |
next. |
