w20-575-83 crashed twice tonight. the second time, the user had been idle,
and then after moving his mouse, the machine crashed. the machine next to
him crashed in a similar manner.
i don't know a lot about hardware, but it strikes me that perhaps the disk,
drawing a load to swap stuff in, caused a surge... or not. :) like i
said, i don't really know.
