<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Had experience servicing a couple of lap tops,
samething could have similar effect on desktop (much less likely). Lap tops
take in considerable amounts of dust overtime. This inhibits effective heat
transfer. This results in bizarre laptop performance bcause of overheating of
the cpu. Disassembling the lap top and cleaning the heat sink and cpu of baked
thermal paste with some good silver paste helps. I have not performed
measurements, but I think the heat sink and possibly retention clips warp. The
heat sink no longer makes effective contact. That means lapping the heat sink
and perhaps the cpu (if you dare). I got such a laptop working by adding
software that controls the fans and slows the cpu down. Better than tossing
the laptop as long as you can handle 20 to 25% speed reduction. The heat build
up also likely damages the board and other components. This is the result of
poor design of the lap top. Also lap tops are not really designed to be a lap
top. Some have fan ports that become completely blocked when placed on your
lap.</FONT></DIV>

</X-TAB>Thanks. I replaced two suspect externals (USB hub & modem)
& added a "Chill Mat" w/ 2 fans but, it's still "spooky." Too many
variables. Heat & humidity don't seem to help. CD/DVD ROM burner
needs replaced & may be effecting other components. There's some
evidence of possible "power back-flow" from external devices. Then again
maybe software conflicts or maybe "cascades" of 2 or more issues...
Nonetheless, as it is, it is...</BLOCKQUOTE>
