Blast! I was hoping nobody would suggest re-seating the processor. That heatsink is a bastard and a half.

PS-Right now all I have connected is the DVD and HD drives, as I'll need those to boot from the CDs (when the crash occurs).

I'll try the re-seating the processor. Wish me luck!

**Edit: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It looks like that worked! I think the guy who built it used entirely too much thermal paste, so I wiped it off and applied some Arctic Silver. So far so good.
