Re: ***Hardware malfunction***system has halted

Hi S,
The answer is precisely Unknown.
In general it had something to do with the motherboard,
As only the removal of that stopped the problem.
No other hardware has been changed and every: wire, card
And drive has been removed or disconnected during previous
Diagnostic testing.

I suppose it could be P.F.M. but I doubt it. ; )
Thanks Again
Mike
