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 -

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.

Out of (personal) curiosity, why do you run 2 copies of mprime for these tests? Wouldn't the one copy do?
It's a quad-core machine, so it should be possible to run four copies of mprime concurrently without it falling over.
Latest update - it was suggested I install 10.3, then upgrade to the latest kernel. Which has very surprisingly had the effect that I can now run one copy of mprime a lot longer than before. I had one copy running almost eight hours last night.
I asked AMD for a CPU diagnostic tool, but they can only supply something for Windows.
There does exist a version of windows xp that runs off a boot cd or dvd. It's not made by MS, but rather some guy. I think he goes by Bart? If you had that you could boot off that optical disk to run AMD's tests. Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
