Okay, Paul. Thanks to you and everyone else for the advice on the
spamming issue. Didn't realize I was doing that. After reading the
replies it becomes clearer.

It seems the summary is this: (1) I probably have a problem with
hardware or other software. (2) If I want to address issues of how to
use or understand diagnostic programs, I need to go to a jiglu space
more appropriate for that. (I wonder if there is one). (3) Until I get
the problem with hardware or other software fixed, there's really no
practical way to know if there's any real problem with Glidos

No not really.

1) The problem is almost certainly hardware, rather than software.

2) Further use of diagnostic programs is probably not going to
help. You need to get an engineer out who can swap out different components to locate the faulty ones. (Although it has to be
said, it is just daft not to try vacuuming out the CPU cooler
as a first attempt – a little like not checking if the fuel
tank is empty when your car conks out.)

3) Glidos is completely out of the frame. No one else is
seeing similar problems, and you managed to crash your
system with Wolfenstein.

Cheers,
