Don't know why you removed the post Detroit, you were right. My heatsink was off the "step". I reapplied the thermal paste, and put the heatsink on correctly. Now the ABS II stays about 25C lower than it did previously, and doesn't have those crazy spikes anymore. I haven't had an auto...

I did try running memtest, but couldn't get through it before a reboot. Since memtest ran off a bootdisk before anything really loaded, I...
