First off, thanks for the support for this TOT thread :-)
However it looks like I was mistaken as to the cause being the mini PCI
bay and/or its cards. Yesterday I needed to open an Excel file. The
only way for me to do that is with a bootable Linux CD which has
OpenOffice on it.
Now Linux is *very* chatty when it boots which makes a bootable CD a
very useful diagnostic. Anyway, one of the things it tells you is the
processor speed - which was very low 167 MHz. I plugged in the AC
charger and rebooted. This time it said a higher figure as expected,
670 MHz but not the full speed of the CPU 850MHz. Then I recalled that
in my messing about one of the things I tried was disabling the Intel
Speedstep. So I turned it from disabled back to automatic. Within
minutes the box had crashed. I tried again with a setting of always max
but that too crashed.
I then tried again with disabled but with the offending network card,
as I thought, installed. No crash. Put back the card drivers and it is
still going. So it looks like the speedstep. Google tells me others
have had problems with this and also disable.
