' memtest86 and/or memtest86+ are usually good starting points : http://www.memtest86.com/ http://www.memtest.org/ faulty memory can often lead to very strange and seemingly random problems, so give the machine a good run with a mem testing tool like one of the above - I'd suggest running all tests of memtest86+ for some 8-12 hours - if the machine survives that without errors then your RAM is probably OK. If you suspect your CPU (or just want to make sure) then a program like cpuburn can be useful : http://pages.sbcglobal.net/redelm/ If you suspect your harddrive, then smartmontools is probably what you are looking for: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ -- Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@...il.com> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
