Bad news.. rebooted with a DOS 6.22 floppy, went for dinner,
came back: machine frozen, with message
Divide overflow
on the console. This is a 2 month old Pentium III 500E, never
overclocked, never overheated AFAIK. I did change the cooler on it a
few days back though, wonder if I broke something, and if I did, why
it took three days to manifest itself. Certainly the new cooler
seemed to work well (~34 C). Will try again with old
monitor, meanwhile any suggestions welcome (e.g. how to get a refund
for my broken Pentium if applicable)
