Just a shot in the dark. I bought a Quicksilver dual gigahertz that
was shipped across the country to me. It kernal panic-ed repeatedly
and I tried everything you did. Finally I took off the heat sink and
reset it with Arctic Silver conductive grease. Hasn't quit in three
years since.
I think the shipping jostled the heat sink and good contact was
lost. Random overheating shut the thing down.
Worth a try?
