[CUBE] Cube keeps freezing -- lots of potential reasons...

[John Murray]

Jan:

This is a not-uncommon cube problem that has MANY
potential causes from the simple -- memory or boards
not seated properly -- to the expensive -- bad CPU,
VRM or Motherboard.

I had this problem 18 months ago and had to replace
the CPU. I would read the archives at cubeowner.com
and post there.

Good luck,

John
