Hi Gerhard, I'll give this a go

From my googling I noticed a few people have logged "Bad page state" errors over the years but not got much feedback :( I guess this means its either something really really simple or something horrible.

guess I'd better go play Xbox for the rest of the night :) Ed On Sun, 2004-10-31 at 15:02, Gerhard den Hollander wrote:

My system seems to have become really unstable lately with applications crashing with sigsev or the whole system freezing (even at runlevel 3 in bash)

I suggest you download the latest memtest (www.memtest86.org) and give that a testrun. (burn selfbootable iso to CD, stick cd in cddrive reboot computer see it start memtest, leav memtest running for 24 hours (oros) and see if it finds any errors.
