From a post on this list I learned to turn off memory overcommitting: 'echo "2" > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory' (for a running system), and put 'vm.overcommit_memory = 2' in /etc/sysctl.conf to apply the same configuration at a later reboot. After near daily system hangs I applied this modification last week, and my current uptime is 8 days and counting - it seems as if this did the trick, so you might give it a try.
Thanx for the tip, but I'm afraid I already tried that. :( I saw this particular post earlier today, and already gave it a try. I'm really suspecting a temperature issue. Earlier, after a crash, I immediately rebooted, and it crashed on me during startup. Is there any way to monitor the temperature in my system while it's running? I'm sure there are sensors somewhere... Regards, Pieter
