This smacks of a hardware fault. First, go back through your BIOS settings and make quite sure you aren't overclocking (even accidentally). If you have more than one memory module, try taking them out and replacing just one at a time in turn. Then run memtest86 or compile a kernel. If possible, try the RAM in another motherboard. Good luck finding what's up with it. Intermittent faults are always the worst to diagnose. -- AJS delta echo bravo six four at earthshod dot co dot uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
