Thanks a lot for the fast response! :)
So you say it's likely to be a hardware problem?
I thought it's something in the software, as the only application that
fails is my mythbackend. I have also a frontend running on that
machine and I haven't had such kind of problems with it...
P.S. To clean some dust inside the case is probably a good idea.
I'll do some maintenance / cleaning today anyway.
