i suggest that you do a full clean-install on a clean-formatted
partition (or a second disk), just to check that the hardware is all
A-OK. At present, you could have EITHER a hardware problem or a
software problem or BOTH.... When troubleshooting always ensure that
you are not testing more than one unknown at a time.....
