Hi Steve

I've just checked my weather station logs (I have almost 7 years of them
on this box - every 5 minutes!) and the indoor temperature (measured just
1.6m from the server) on both occasions was much higher than the norm -
Mondays failure was when the room temperature hit 27C.

I'm going to try moving the card down a slot as the one I'm using is right
next to the chipset heatsink (within 5mm) which after 3 years will have
done the board no good at all!

I'll report back :)
