Not sure if it's the cold weather we have at the moment, but my Ultra 2 CPU has died. Tried cleaning the contacts, inspecting for capacitor damage etc, but all looks fine.

The system is kept in my workshop which is dry, (and insulated/carpeted) but its not heated 24/7 so does get colder at night.

I borrowed a module of a friend locally and that works fine, so it looks like the motherboard is OK. 

If anyone has a spare 501-5445 let me know :-)

Generally I do try and power cycle every machine I have at least once a week, and leave them running for an hour or so to try and mitigate failures. I find the worst thing you can do is just 'store' stuff.
