[Cube] Kernel panics, etc...

Riba, et. al.

I think your suggestion does make a lot of sense. I do have an NVidia  
2MX as graphics card. I still can feel that the fan from the CPU  
upgrade doing its work, but you might we right about the fan of the  
graphics card.
Is there any way to verify that this indeed the problem without  
dismantling my Cube (e.g. is there some software that can run a test  
on the graphics card and figure out whether something is wrong with  
it)? And if something is wrong, how hard is it to get a replacement?

Thanks
Rob
