Are you the one that posted about Sig11 faults? If the faults do not
occur in the same place twice, the trouble is usually one of the
following:
You have overclocked your CPU, put it back.
You have a cheap or ineffective CPU fan and the CPU is getting too hot.
Replace the fan and add heatsink compound to the area where the heatsinkk
contacts the CPU.
You have installed memory that is too slow for your machine causing random
errors. Get the proper RAM.
Your cache RAM is failing.
Your power supply is failing.
In 99% of my cases with random sig11 faults, it is related to CPU heat.
Installing a good fan/heatsink with heatsink compound has fixed it.
NEVER, EVER, EVER, use one of those "stick-on" cpu fans with double-sided
tape. The tape actually INSULATES the CPU and can make it run hotter.
