I am troubled by frequent hard system crashes, which seem particularly likely to occur when I am using gcc3.2. Since I often want to rebuild large packages, this is extrememly annoying. At the moment, it's as bad as Windows 95! Motherboard: Tyan Tiger S2466N-4M
Ah, a SMP system. - Ensure that you have GOOD memory chips (I mean, REALLY GOOD ones), like brand, certified ones. - Go to http://www.memtest86.com/, burn the bootable CD, and check your memories during few hours (4-5 hours mini). The test #5 is particularly important (non-linear tests) Many stability problems are caused by bad memory chips. I had to throw a 512-MB chip for this reason recently :( --- Xavier Roche roche@httrack.com
