    Nerves....

    You get nervous because you haven't got a clue what you're doing, and didn't personally install anything yourself.

    Coolant boiling!

    These aren't always as definitive as many would have you believe. In my case it didn't do anything but place more doubt whether or not the head gasket was beginning to fail. A collection of extremely mild symptoms were the only indication, and it was in fact failing.

(Infact the latest device was my brand new BD player, would not...
