I used Memtest and I have had already run fsck since my poor hard drive was compaining bitterly of so many cold restarts.

I pulled out my wifi card (since i wasn't even using the darn thing), the only other thing to pull is my video card (Nividia GForce 6600) - the rest (sound, my ethernet card etc) are all onboard. Now I have being trying to find something comparable to windows where there is a device manager where i can disable or enable hardware. Is there something like that? Or is it console command only? I've been reading through the handbook and the KDE doc but haven't come across much. I'll try a benchmark prog and then try twm if there's a prob. > If all this fails to identify the problem you need at least to get a kernel > dump.
