Hi Michael :)

Firstly, I would not rule out the possibility of his hardware being
problematic. IMHO he should run a full complex pass of memtest and
also a stress testing application for the CPU / CACHE and GPU.

If his hardware proves itself to be reliable under stress tests, I
would suggest he considers a clean, fresh install of the latest Hardy
point release and see if the problem still replicates itself. If it
does, steps to replicate the problem need to be narrowed down.
