It could be RAM, CPU, mobo, power supply, etc. *shrug*. You could run memtest86+ for awhile to test ram. lm_sensors can check temp and voltage levels. Otherwise you pretty much just need to figure out the good trigger, and swap hardware until you find the culprit. -- Garrick Staples, GNU/Linux HPCC SysAdmin University of Southern California -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
