Full ack!

I found power supply instabilities (for example 3,15 instead of the
specified 3,3 Volts or any other voltages) quite often to be the cause
for system instabilities.

And memtest should be run "as long as possible" but at least for two
whole days.

Two- or threetimes i sat in front of a "problematic" system in which
case it _really_DID_help_ to take the memory modules out of the board,
to clean the electrical contacts _cautiously_ as well as thoroughly,
re-insert the same modules and all was well and fine ...

Good luck!
