I ever had experience a little similiar with yours, my debian system
crashed 3 times in 10 days, it was said to be caused by a harddisk
problem, but my harddisk is quit new, and windows installed in another
partition works fine. I think it might be caused by Samba and
Pidgin(with heavy network tranffic and frequent harddisk writes), i'm
not sure whether my guess is true. but for my new installations, i
didn't install samba, and disabled those accounts with heavy traffic
in pidgin, only kept accounts with normal traffic in pidgin.


This has happened with mine too until i found out that it was because of
buggy RAM. If your machine is just crashing randomly ... then you have
a good chance to check the RAM to see if it is all fine...
(boot into the install DVD and in the install prompt of the DVD just say
memtest86+




The only program with frequent hard disk writes is deluge. I gues that explains no matter
what OS I'm using since I'm always downloading files it will still happens. Any
workaround?
