2. I rarely experience the WSOD, although it has briefly happened a couple of times.

Given that the company was going under, I can see where they might have shipped out units with a known motherboard defect.
My serial is bf30145100b69 and i have WSOD, so i don't think the problem is isolated with the first PE's. It's clear that it's a design flaw in PE motherboard and it affects all units
