Don't rule out hardware just because it is new...  I've had plenty
of new hardware fail on me within the first 24 hours of operation, and
the symptoms can be rebooting or shutting down completely.

What do the log files in /var/log/ say?

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry
that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"

Unix IS user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
System Administration - It's a dirty job, but somebody said I had to do it.
If you receive something that says 'Send this to everyone you know,
pretend you don't know me.
