Possible fix: Norton Ghost error 36000 processor general exception

[JW]

I've now seen two mother boards get this error when running Norton Ghost.
In both of the cases, the problem turned out to be a faulty CPU chip - one
a Pentium 3 850MHz, and the other a Celeron 2.2GHz. For verification, I
Moved the CPU chips to other motherboards, and the problem follows the
chips. I figured I'd post this so it'd be archived for someone else's use.

This is the pertinent part of the error log from the P3-850 machine:
