Wish I could, but I have no room for my tower.

Final update on my reboot problem: turned out to be a bad power supply, however this thread got me to looking into the temps. RW3 was forcing my temps WAY up there in the 70C to 80C ranges. Reading about how to cool a processor I eventually ended up removing the heat sink off the processor, cleaning it, and applying Radio Shack thermal paste, reinstalling the heatsink. I got an immediate 25 degree drop in temps while running RW3. Now running around 50 to 55C all the time with RW3.

So, thanks to all you who chimed in with suggestions.
