Martin suggested to flash upgrade the prom. I did not try
that. Instead (as suggested by Mike) I've returned the
computer to my vendor for replacement. All the unstableness
(weird banner messages/hangs/crashes) indicates a
hardware related problem.
I will re-summarize if I have more info for you......
Original question:
