I'm working on getting lm_sensors up and running now - the problem is
back with a vengence.  I guess I knocked on fake wood or something.  :-\

It took it about twenty minutes after the system was powered up to rear
its ugly head.  mencoder seg faulted and DVD video slowly started
getting pixilated.  By the time I finished watching the Angel episode,
it was so bad I couldn't make out faces.

And I'm broke.. lol.. my only desktop system (only TV card) not working
worth a damn.  Hope I can fix it by Wednesday.
