Somehow I got overanxious with the delete keys, and sent your message to the happy hunting ground.  However, I wanted to share that "Alert! Regulator Failure" typically has to do with a hardware problem with the CPU voltage regulator (read: motherboard).  I know, for instance, that this is common enough on Dell Optiplexes(en?) running Photoshop under Windows that there's actually a workaround posted on Adobe's site.

Summary:
 - hardware related
 - Dell Optiplexen(es?) vulnerable
 - try a different motherboard?
