I have encountered such a case : In a computer Windows XP was running successfully . When I tried a FreeBSD or Linux , no one of them worked properly ( they were crashing unexpectedly ) . My opinion was that there were incompatibilities between FreeBSD or Linux and its mainboard which was a correct expectation . Later on , even Windows XP started to crash . The reason was a progressive memory chip defect . Different operating systems may use different memory parts . One of them may fail but others may work . In such cases verifying correct functioning of memory chips may be useful . Even other computer parts may cause such problems because of order of using parts or not using all of the parts or using different parts . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
