 * A personal experience here: after several mysterious total computer shut downs which only occurred while running GW, i noticed the Energy bar flickering slightly in places and would then get a blue backgrounded large font text image flash across my screen - followed by a shut down.

After 3 of these shut downs (and much frantic checking of my component temperatures and functionality) i reluctantly restarted GW. The message REPAIRING DATA ARCHIVE then appeared for the first time, and took approx 30 minutes to complete.

GW running steady for about 20 min now, vs 5 minutes before...
