Re: Frequent kernel panics

Thanks for the various suggestions.

Of course the computer hasnt crashed for the last four days now. I did run some of the tests suggested, and everything checks out OK.

Theres no new hardware in the system, no new accessories. And i dont have replacements for every bit that i can swap in and wait for a month to see if its OK. That is i dont have a spare power supply, spare memory, etc. I dont think that I installed any new software thats relevant.

I know diagnosing sporadic problems is the hardest thing. But this is so frustrating. Maybe I should just build a new machine and give up on this; it isnt a super powerful box anyway.

Hi,

I would suggest at first doing a fsck on your HDD, then testing RAM
(with memtest maybe or using another RAM), as almost everybody said,
this is due to hardware problems.

~ Happy install !
