Not if it's a race condition of some sorts, which is quote possible, see below. > Since I turned off 'quiet' it > hasn't failed yet... Mine has, just now, I had to reset, second time I turned the machine off (holding power switch for 4 seconds), then I disconnected the older IDE cable (still used here for 2 DVD drives, 1 read-only, 1 writer). Booting without the IDE devices attached went just fine, although I have yet to boot a second time, so it might be a coincidence. It was the messages that lead me to disconnecting the drives, as the lockup occurs when initializing those drives, or at least after the hard disks (all SATA). I'm not sure if these are the cause, but my burner has been acting weird... not immediately opening when told, etc.. I took pictures of both lockups. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/641/20120102001.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/833/20120102002.jpg/ Kind regards, Steven
