If you're running Debian Stable with no software from anywhere else, then it's very nearly certainly a hardware or environmental problem. Even Windows Server users now look at hardware first, and I'd back Stable over Server any day. Look for dust in fan guards, filters, heatsinks, ventilation slots, re-seat motherboard connectors, RAM, cards, etc. If it's hardware, logs may well show nothing. If any changes have been made recently, they are also suspect. Many types of motherboard will accept RAM in all slots only for specific models of RAM as certified by the motherboard maker, some cards work better on some MBs than others. Even out-of-spec cables can cause intermittent troubles. How about power glitches? Some computers can run for longer than others when the mains goes missing, if other computers have no problems it doesn't mean there are no problems. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
