The X2 is down, I've been having intermittent difficulties with it in Windows XP x64 Edition over the past month or two. It will fold fine for days on end, but when I try to run a program, game, or even run the smallest program/benchmark I'll find that it intermittently shuts down on me, as if the power cord were yanked. This has been getting progressively more common in recent weeks.
Temps were and are mild, nothing is overheating. The motherboard/PWMIC is at 38c idle and 50c load last I've checked. CPU temp doesn't exceed 50c load. The power supply is a new FX-700GLN.
I wiped the drive and installed openSUSE 10.2 today and it was working fine, went to reboot and found the computer wouldn't post, an intermittent click coming from the hard drive.
The hard drive is a six year old IBM DeskStar. Turning the system off, then back on, I found it to boot but then stalled at post right before it searches for boot CDs. Rebooting, I got it to begin the booting phase of openSUSE, but I got this error message (continually repeating with increasing sector numbers):
Could this DeathStar finally have failed me? I'm thinking so, openSUSE still exhibits this behavior even if the system is running at stock/underclocked speeds. (sigh) oh well, RIP DeathStar, six years out of a hard drive ain't bad.

Sounds like DeathStar to me... ala- the dreaded click-o-death.
