One more idea: we have some cam design software. That is not specifically relative but it could be.

IT seems that the memory handler in the program did not like a certain bramd of chipsets. The software had this wierd proclivity to do funny things when it was run on a computer with a certain chipset.

Run it on ANY other computer and it would run fine - all day - run just fine. Take the HDD and plug it into a PC with a m/b having this certain chipset, poof, crash city.

From this I learned that a PC isn't a PC....
