I get a similar problem on different hardware:- MSI K8 Master2-FAR, opteron 242s, 2GB memory, nVidia FX5200 with NV driver It locks up every 5-10 days. Current hypotheses being explored are: - i/o problems (the manufacturers rather optimistically have put two large IDE drives on the same channel). I'm thinking of getting a separate IDE controller. - software problems (it has happened quite a lot when using browsers) - heating problems. One possibility is to install a fan near the memory modules. CPU temperatures seem OK. - possible fluctuations in the mains power supply (I have a simple power filter, but maybe a more sophisticated UPS is needed). - Richard -- Richard Kimber http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/
