Gary, Re: any chance this compag problem is related to use of sh*tty (i.e. non-Intel) CPUs?

I don't think it has anything to do with the CPU but more
with the product line. Compaq's Presario line and IBM's Aptiva line both suck(had the chance of using both
a few years ago when they were Intel only models). One interesting thing though is that now both use non-Intel CPUs.

The problem affects Intel and AMD based Compaq PCs.

Gary - Re: "Paul, Fred, PB, and others:

Most of the complaints are from owners of Athlon-based Compaqs - although a very small number reference a Celeron-based Model.
