Yes, it's interesting. The box is at work (here). I think the hardware (fan cooler, power supply, etc) is OK. This is a new machine (arrived last friday Nov 26th). Yes, the machine is permanently networked but I can't say which other processes are running at that exact time. My main surprise is that under a high load -- lot of disk access, lot of memory usage, lot cpu usage, the machine didn't present any kind of error. I have no idea what is happening here! Some help?
