Memtest has found errors in test 6 on my 512 stick of pc133. I wasn't 
having any problems but thought I'd run the test from an iso image just 
for kicks. So I finish the test,(took about an hour for the default 
tests) and I rebooted then did "startx". The nVidia splash screen 
stayed up for about one minute, then KDE started. This took somewhat 
longer than normal but I had no mouse. I exited X and looked at my 
XF86Config... No changes. I tried to reboot with the same results as 
before. Then, I shut it down and let it sit for 15 minutes. I fired it 
up and started X and all was back to normal.
        What happened? Do you suppose that the memory or processor got too hot? 
I have no means of checking temps in bios. (no emerges or config 
changes since last reboot)
