Hi, When your boot menu appears select the "memory Test' option, you'll be amazed at the results. I was having an issue with an old machine a while back, I ran the 'Memory Test' and it pointed out that some memory was damaged, after removing the faulty SIMM (yes I said SIMM, told you the machine was a bit old) the problems disappeared and the machine has been happily doing its job for a year now.

Well my system freezes with two programs. If I want to find a file on my system I am most often to lazy to remember how to grep and I do a find in my KDE on Suse 8.0. After some files are returned a freeze of my system is a sure thing. Same when I use the file find command in midnight commander. Three finger salute and any other keyboard input has no effect. A reset is the only way out. Cannot remember having such a freezing of the screen with any other program.
Could it be that these find utils are using lots of memory? I have 320 mb memory and have excluded via Lilo the last twenty mb because they are faulty. Could it be that find does not respect this exclusion? Any other reasons?
