Just to finish off what seemed to create the longest thread for quite a while on this list: My machine came back today, with a replacement motherboard of exactly the same type. It now works flawlessly, or at least it has run mprime for 6-8 hours now with no problem at all (the old one had a bit habit of rebooting _while in the BIOS_ for its last hours)... So... is it now a new machine? How much do you change before you can call it a new machine? ;-) /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://members.xoom.com/sneeze/ _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
