No. You can't exhaustively test the hardware using software. You can only test some things: what you have shown is that none of the things that burn* does cause your system to reboot. The only way you can rule out hardware failure completely is to replace it component by component and see if the problem persists. Your problems certainly sound like failing hardware. The archives are littered with examples of people who swore black and blue that failing hardware could not possibly be the cause of their mysterious reboots, until they found the failing hardware and replaced it :-) Check and swap out/replace RAM, power supply, CPU fan, cabling, CPU etc. Kris
