That's not nice. :-( Is there some specific program you're running that causes the crash? Have you tried telnetting into the machine and checked systat -pigs, ps ax, top, etc. for a program that's hogging the CPU? Does the same problem occur in other OSs (DOS, for instance)? If you can telnet in, do that and use shutdown instead of resetting it -- you're doing bad things to your filesystem. > The system is a 486DX2-66 noname with AMI BIOS, Soundblaster-16 + Creative > 2XCDROM, 2 x IDE conner 420MB hard disks, 12MB Ram, 1MB Trident SVGA, mouse > systems mouse.
