8 minute reboot sounds mighty like the hard drive is indeed running PIO instead of DMA mode, Don. That, too, is one of the4 symptoms.

PIO mode means that your microprocessor is being tasked with handling disk I/O - and the processor in your Dynavox is not up to that task, not that it would be good even if the thing had an overclocked i7 in it, mind you.

Maybe you can convince that tech guy to take control of your machine again, grab that file out of the email I sent you and run it. Maybe.
