Dear Alex, Failing on POST is an indicator of a memory failure. Check with your vendor on warrantee info. Always use a good 'contact lubricant' on electronic connections; it helps prevent the formation of oxidation and "stress-corrosion" . Any electronics supply house should carry it for a few dollars; do not fall for the $15+ Audiophiles TWEEK fluid, it is just the cheap stuff repackaged. Good Luck ..........

Hello, Thank you for your response. However, looks like this seg. fault problem has gone away, at least for now. I opened the box, removed all memory modules. Then I rubbed its contacts with soft eraser, and after cleaned them with an alcohol. After this procedure I performed a couple of code compilations and everything was very stable. The only one thing still bothers me. Even though all my 3GB PC2100 DDR memory modules have ECC, I can't set them to ECC setting in the BIOS. When I do this, the system just doesn't post on reboot and I have to reset the BIOS. For now BIOS memory options set to non-ECC.
Thanks. Alex

I have 430W power supply in this box. I hope it's enough to power the system. Anyway, I'll check memory setting in the BIOS.
If you are not using ECC memory then there is no way to detect a memory error, usually it causes some mysterious segfaults.
