Not really. Although "in-place upgrade" / "install over" /repair
installation" do reset a lot to as-installed, I would not say they
are essentially the same when used in a situation such as this.
YMMV

Perhaps. But a test "clean" install could rule out a number of
things while perhaps also indicating more definitely that software
(of some sort) is indeed the culprit. YMMV but it could be worth
the time and might also give you some baseline data for the OS on
this particular hardware. If you go this route also apply (one-by-
one) later SPs and device drivers to match the current config.

Is there (yet) any evidence that is not? :) Another thing a clean
installation might prove useful for. Just thoughts... Hopefully
you will find the problem one way or another.
