I've never heard of such an "upgrade". What speed do the CPUs run at?

That's one very strange Fatal Reset report. It's actually reporting a
number of errors, which generally wouldn't make sense occuring all at once.
In isolation these would probably be hardware problems, but with so many
of them together this is fairly unlikely.
I'd say it's more likely that the new firmware is trying to get the hardware
to do something it doesn't support - which brings us back again to the
question of exactly what the hardware is...
Scott.
