Still hanging, but just got a 30 minute run from boot to hang!!! The longest of the day.
Current status: Memtest86 from SUSE 10 DVD shows nothing wrong. 6 passes completed Have already swapped out RAM and CPU with another machine.
I found a cheap ($10) bootable diagnostic (TuffTest V1.53) and have tried to run it. It locks up, but behaves the same on another server I have with the same MB/CPU/memory. (My tape server which is not used during the day.)
My next thought is to swap the motherboard or the power supply. Maybe both since I have a space chassis with a MB and power supply in it.
Other diagnostic suggestions welcome.
You mentioned in an earlier email about have 9 fans, IIRC. Do you have enough of a power supply to run all of them? Could be a source of problems. I have a PC that had a power supply fail and the symptoms were very close to what you describe here.
