I've also had a computer's motherboard gradually go out too. I know the "expiration date" comment was tongue in cheek but some times computers do just eventually give up the ghost.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The most interesting thing of the very thorough anlysis is that often times problems surface after load. However you ran a memory test overnight and then the computer booted fine.
