You will undoubtedly remember the discussion about the stability problems on my new workstation from a couple of weeks ago. I'll quickly sum up - 1. Gigabyte motherboard, quite new model. 2. AMD Phenom quad-core CPU. 2.2GHz 3. 4Gb memory 4. Software RAID1 on SATA disks. 5. ATI Radeon X1650. 6. 850W powersupply. When I subject the system to stress testing (mprime), it will automatically reboot after a fairly short time. After having made certain it wasn't the memory and not the powersupply, I began to suspect it was cooling/temperature related - I had one temperature reading showing 80-86C. However, Gigabyte said that sensor wasn't in fact connected, so there. I checked with AMD and they confirmed the supplied heastsink and fan were entirely adequate for running the CPU under full load. CPU-temp would hit 60-62C under full load. In the end I reported the board as faulty and sent it back for repair/replacement. I got a new one two days ago, which I've now installed etc. In the meantime memtest86 was upgraded to support the AMD K10 CPU/chipset, so I've done a couple of passes with that - no probs. I've also upgraded the BIOS to the latest. I very carefully cleaned CPU and heatsink and applied a minimal amount of new thermal paste before re-seating everything. And the machine still crashes under load - even just a little bit. I run two copies of mprime, plus firefox and such, and after 15-20 minutes, I get the automatic reboot. I've kept an eye on the CPU-temp (assuming the readout from lm-sensors is correct), and it's fairly stable in the 53-55C range. So now what? I'm running openSUSE 11.0A2 - maybe I should try 10.3 instead, just in case. Still, I can't help feeling that the motherboard/BIOS is basically buggy, but how do I prove that? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
