The original link works just fine for me????


Well in my everso humble experience....when a critical machine regularly starts misbehaving in this manner....there is a serious issue that needs to be addressed asap...and the machine should be repaired\replaced\reinstalled.
I agree, but am rather surprised..............given the amounts of money involved in oil exploration, I would have thought it would be standard procedure to replace a misbehaving machine with a known good one and then try to fix it?

If you get the same problem with the replacement machine, then it is time to check the sensors, as they must be causing the problem.

The guy must have some sort of legal death wish...........if he was called in to fix it and didn't, then I would say that was "reckless indifference" at a minimum?

To blame MS on this is just wrong....
Exactly! all the OS is doing is telling you it has a problem.............all other things being equal, I would suspect a hardware issue. They must have tested the thing when it was installed............so it must have worked then?

I had a machine in the other day that was crashing and giving critical error messages...........nothing in the logs really made sense............turned out the guy had added a strip of incompatible memory

Some hardware problems can be very obscure.
