I have a machine which suffered from overheating. After replacing the fan
I could'nt get it stable again :the scsi bus looked up the same way, (but
with an NCR) occasionally (it could be up several days without troubles),
and the root cause of the problem (dead fan) was solved. There was no software
change on the machine.
Remplacing the disk solved the problem.

This doesn't mean you have the same problem but a bad disk can do very
strange things ...
