By reliably I mean that the compile would fail, on the MAJORITY of the compiles, i.e. usually about 1/2 way through the process. After trying all sorts of measures, I have found one that seems so far to reliably fix the problem: run it with the case off. Since there is unlikely to be any "grounding problems" because of the way the case is laid out (its a full tower, the case is really just a "wrapper" for a solid frame, and touches no components), it is almost certainly thermal. So, for the moment I retract what I said earlier, but I may waffle again if I can't fix it by proper ventilation (I didn't realize how critical it was..) Now, if I could just get the serial ports to work so I can use my 3-b mouse...
