For what it's worth, I think I finally discovered the
causes of my crashes on this same machine over the past several
months. I'm just posting this so that maybe someone else having
the same problem will find this message of use at some point in
the future.
Looking around for information on "fatal trap 12"
crashes, it seems almost all of them are hardware related
usually. And in my case, I think that still holds true.
I recalled finally that I had recently added a third
stick of Corsair XMMS DDR memory to this machine (for a total of
three 256MB DDR DIMM's) and that my stability issues seemed to
crop up shortly afterwards!
So far, after removing the third stick of memory, the
machine has been running stably with no problems at all.
Searching around on deja.com, this seems to be a somewhat common
problem with various motherborads. So I guess, buyer beware!
Like I said, hopefully this will help someone else in the
future who is unfortunate enough to put three sticks of DDR
memory into a machine and suddenly starts seeing bizarre
stability issues! :)
