hello groups,

had anybody already had the problem, that the system is working properly
for about 2 weeks, and then random crashes occur for lets say 4 days?

i already tried 2 oses, linux and xp, and both systems behave in this
manner.

i am thinking of the graphix board, as linux is restarting its x/server.
xp is stopping with a blue screen error. these differ from event to event.

has anybody got any hints?

cheers

temperature overheat is appearing !....

greets , Patrick.

Make sure you have ECC memory, and enable it in the bios. Only
then can you eliminate memory problems.

Since the same symptoms occur with two different operating systems I think
it may be RAM related. Download, decompress and run Memtest from a floppy.
www.memtest86.com If you're overclocking, reset the BIOS to defaults before
testing.
