Thanks to replies after I sent the first summary to:

"Anonymous Mark" <anonmark@gmail.com>
peter winterflood <peter.winterflood@ossi.co.uk>
"Brad Morrison" <brad.morrison@gmail.com>
A Darren Dunham <ddunham@taos.com>
Jeff Graham <sunmanagers@demit.net>
Christopher Barnard <cbarnar1@earthlink.net>

All of them said the most likely problem was H/W except one replied that 
could be "ntp" which was ruled out as "ntp" was not running on that workstation.

The workstation died when I re-booted. Not even came to the boot screen. So h?w problem.

Thank you.

Regards
Alan
