The desktop PC at home did random reboots under FreeBSD, and gave a nice blue screen saying that IRQ_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL didn't hold ---or something like that--- if I tried to boot Windows XP.

It turned out the CPU fan had so much dust that stopped working. The computer lives in a normal room and has just a few months, but it seems this Athlon XP 1700 has a fan that needs almost monthly cleaning.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
