If you can figure out how, you could set up a network syslogd on the server and get the thin clients to send logging information across the network. This _might_ give you a clue why it's crashing. > Al - I will look at this next time but I have tried another socket and > power spot. The only other question is the environment. If it gets very hot in that corner for some reason, it might cause a crash. You could try and figure out how hot the machine is. > Basically I have worked with hardware for a number of years and this > is odd so I think it is a software thing but not sure where.

If you replaced all of the things you said, then there is a completely different computer in place and you still see the problem -- only the desk and the sockets are still present. If you can confirm that that computer works fine elsewhere, I can't see how it can be a software issue. This assumes the problem computer is doing all the same things as the others -- ie you don't happen to do something unusual with that computer that you don't with others. > I have replace every thing from computer to server switch.
