An extra case fan is always a good idea and helps more than just your
processor. Due to the narrow nature of the question I didn't bring up this
point, but it is always a good point to bring up! Thanks John!

First, it is quite normal for a processor to run hot enough to prevent one
from being able to touch it for over 2 secs or so. When Intel first
introduced the PII, a common joke in computer science circles was that Intel
had successfully marketed the most expensive egg frier to date ;-) To find

Seeing all of this information on spontaneous rebooting, I am beginnin to
