it would be helpful to know if the machine has ever been running good under another distro/OS or if its a 'new' machine..
install lm_sensors on the machine for some additional info about the mainboard like voltage and temp and stuff. i also find running X on the screen with status monitors is good, when my BP6 crashes i can usually always see what was going on when it crashed from mem/cpu load to cpu/MB temp to time it crashed etc. it may also be worth a shot to install another OS on it to see if it does the same..could try one of the floppy based linux distros that installs into memory or the QNX demo (www.qnx.com) which also loads into memory. also it may be worth trying to crash it by increasing the cpu and i/o load by loading multiple copies of [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 copy for every 10-15MB of ram you have. make the machine work it's ass off for a while and see if it holds up for the 24 hours, or if it crashes real quick. i can usually get about 15 million disk writes out in a 2-3 day period with a good amount of seti going. it stresses the IDE bus to the limits(and past some, ive had machines reset the ide bus a few times during that) nate On Wed, 2 Feb 2000, Allan M.
