>- I've run a complete scan of the computer and have found nothing remotely concerning.
>- I've taken off the case to see if a cord was perhaps caught in the fan.
>- I've swapped out the RAM.
>- I've run a Defrag and a Check Disk.

>Does anyone have an idea of what this could be or any suggestions to try?
