It's a two tone oscillating noise and then the machine shuts down.
Sometimes it doesn't happen, then I get kernel panics.

Boot CD - kernel panic. What's a Windows CD? Don't have anything like
the polluting my office here ;-)

True. I just am not sure if it's because at 1GHz, the chip identifies as
an Athlon and at 2.4GHz, it's a Semperon which could be causing the
problem.
