hardware problem? continual errors with drive and kernel
I have a AMD XP 1700+ with an Asus A7V266-E motherboard and 512M of ram.
Recently I noticed many errors in the log files, everything from kernel oops
to errors on the hard drive. I replaced the drive with a new one and did a
fresh install of etch. I still got lots of errors, especially hard drive
errors, and noticed that the machine would crash if I tried to attach two
hard drives. Thinking the power supply might be wearing out, I replaced the
power supply, but continued to get the errors. For example, this morning I
had kernel errors (attached below) and when I tried to restart, I spent about
15 minutes with fsck fixing all the bad inodes and blocks on the home
partition of the drive. I am assuming that it is unlikely that this hard
drive is also bad, and so I am guessing that it is either the processor, the
memory, or the motherboard.
I was wondering if anyone else had had problems like this and had any
suggestions. I don't know much about hardware and don't begin to know what
to do.
Thanks
