Earlier I reported messages in my kernel log that indicated a possible
failing SATA HDD.  The messages described a repeated slowing of the SATA
HDD transfer speed from 6 Gb/sec to 3 Gb/sec and then to 1.5 GB/sec.

Some assholes suggested using smartctl (smartmontools) to diagnose the
problem but any idiot can see that the issue is NOT the HDD but rather the
SATA controller.

Thus, at first I thought that my motherboard was failing.

However, upon close inspection, I noticed huge amounts of fine dust
particles that were clogging the cooling vanes of the CPU heat sink.
Using a brush I scrubbed away all the fine dust and ever since I have
not had a recurrence of the problem.

Apparently, the issue was caused by excessive heating of the CPU.

Smartctl!  Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  What a bunch of stupefied assholes!

It's no wonder that they are all distro lackeys.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
