I was able to increase stability again, with taking some care about the Sonnet CPU Upgrade:

I took off the heat sink with care, and cleaned the PCB from all the dust everywhere that got there the last 8 years. Aditionally I took off the fan of the heat sink and cleaned it as well. I used an antistatic brush for that. I have no idea if it was a simple heat problem, or if the BGA and SMDs got maybe some contacts they shouldn´t because of the dust?

As well I went back from the Crescendo drivers 3.1 to 2.3.1 - the system is very stable again, as I knew it the last decade. I am writing right now with it.

Nevertheless I would love to discuss that CUDA issue, and get approved informations of how long and when it is to be used.
