This system is quite old, this issue is very new on a box that had been rock solid stable for several years, no hardware changes in last few months. I'm going to de-dust the innards, start it cool - and run it through memtest86 If it's bad memory, I buy new ram. If it's not bad memory, I will try a new power supply. If that doesn't fix it - I guess I find out what x86_64 is like :D
