I had these problems with my K6/2 450 until I finally got out the sandpaper and lapped both the CPU and the heatsink. The heatsink needed it much worse than the CPU. I have had only one reboot since I did that while loading the system heavily with an X build. Even one reboot is not good, but it's much better than it was. www.pcpowercooling.com sells heavy duty heatsink/fans for many processors including the K6/2. If my problems ever return I plan to buy one from them. > On Mon, Jul 17, 2000 at 03:37:51PM -0700, Richard Stanaford wrote: > > > > --- David Uhring <duhring@charter.net> wrote: > > > On Mon, 17 Jul 2000, Walter Campbell wrote: > > > > > You might also check the cpu temperature during the compile.
