It could very well be a hardware problem. One of the prime suspects to test is memory. Try memtest86 to probe for b0rken memory. OTOH, if you've been overclocking the machine, that could also lead to problems. Change things like bus speed and memory timings to the default values if you've changed them. Roland --=20 R.F.
