Hi Curt, A shakey power supply would indeed be my alternative hypothesis. However, I would find it hard to imagine that the city power grid would be so much more stable than the university's power network (which I believe is also connected to the public power grid anyhow). In addition, at FSWeekend, we were running on an ad-hoc generator, which would be way less stable than the city power grid, I assume.
In any case, the temperature in my living room has just reached approx 23 degrees celsius, and PH-UTW has experienced it's first lockup. This seems to confirm my temperature hypothesis. :-) Cheers, Durk On Tuesday 16 March 2010 10:27:25 pm Curtis Olson wrote: > Hi Durk, > > No idea about modern machines, but I've certainly had past machines that > got flaky due to cpu cooling deficiencies.
