Greetings:
While waiting for another box I decided to pull the RAM and test each
stick (256 MB each). The problem occurred with either stick. I'm able to
log in, work for a few minutes, then the box just freezes. I can hear
the disk drive make a little activity noise first, then everything's
just gone. Btw, it'll die in X or at the console, it's not an X problem
(I think). And since the problem occurs whether I'm on /dev/hda or
/dev/hdb I doubt if both disk drives are bad.
Anyway, Ivy's bringing over the other machine in another day or so,
I'll switch drives into that machine and see what happens next.
Best,

Just a passing thought Dave, but have you thought of checking that the cmos
battery is ok?

Will it "die" if you go into BIOS set-up, and just leave it there for a
few minutes? If so, it could be a cooling or overclocking problem. Like
a dead or dusty CPU-fan or perhaps a jumper on its way to fall off.

I missed most of this thread, so I'm sorry if this has already been
said. But, have you run memtest?
