I have a new one.
I've used folding, 3dmark, sysoft, memtest, prime.. My main machine took it all without a hitch. Then, I did something that freaked it out. I scanned a doc using (USB) and at the same time printed on my color inkjet (multiple docs). My system acted up and then crashed. Go figure. Apparently, my printer doesn't like the oc. When I clock it down a bit, printing isn't a problem. I think the print spool for an inkjet dates back to when CPUs could barely keep up with the printer and had to be ready to send the next line of data.

Needless to say, I am now printing via lan to the inket on my wife's machine, and have my laser connected to my pc
. And my wife's celeron doesn't seem to mind one bit.
