Believe it or not I had the same problem less than 1 week ago! It always turns into a process of elimination game. After battling the same errors and random reboots for 1 month or so (yes I even ran MemTest86 5+ times without errors!), it turned out to be a flaky motherboard. Regardless, all clues and experiences seem to point to a hardware problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------- (T)archive.com 100Mbps Open Source Mirror ---------------------------------------------------------------- URL Location: www.tarchive.com Physical Location: Denver, CO - USA Connection: 100mbps Fibre Connection - Cogent Communications ---------------------------------------------------------------- Provided by: Four10.com Managed by: Onyi C.

Since I discovered this I run it religiously on any new machine or one that I have changed the memory on. -Carlos PS. Sorry if this has been suggested already.
