    no overclock
    hdparm is used but I cannot tell you exactly what the config is (now
    machine has been running memtest for 1.5 hour). I don't think I use
    special option: probably the defaults in my config file (mult_sect 16,
    dma on, write_cache off).

    overheating: perhaps. The machine is hot and running many hours per
    day (usually 12-16). It s running the fans very often, but it's always
    been like that. I've tried to control the fan, but then the
    temperature goes high very quickly. So I let the fans run.
