That is most likely to be a thermal problem. Once I had a PCMCIA

Ask the list, I have only been using linux on pbooks for a week ;-) I
don't think the message you sent me was sent to the list, so maybe you
should resend it because they could help you better.

have this problem before putting in that brand new memory?

PS.: I suggest that we continue on the list, so I sent this message
there too.
