I have found several instances of memory problems that were *NOT* detected by memtest86[+]*, even when run for extended periods (overnight or 24 hours+). As a result, I now use: http://www.advancedclustering.com/software/breakin.html ...while it also tests memory, it does so while putting the CPU under 100% load, as well as performing maximum-speed DMA transfers to the disk drive(s). In short, it stresses the system a lot more than a simple memory test, and will turn up problems with marginal designs (cooling, power-supply, etc) that memtest86 will miss. You can pxe-boot the kernel/initrd image if you're setup for that, or burn an ISO image to create a bootable CD. - -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlDPg9AACgkQLywbqEHdNFzb/gCgw72Kn+xiaK9VMXZtB4mXBnvI 7AwAnA1Az5TL3Tti+1Z9VYH9EvYXD/8W =sWf+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
