Brett,
I ran the standard tests with mentest86 yesterday, no errors found.
Cpuburn has been running for 15 minutes and "sensors" shows that the
CPU has leveled off at 52 deg. C and the chipset is at 48 C.
From the daemon log, I see that the crash that I saw this morning
occurred between 3:50 and 4:00 AM. There are no cron jobs running
then and I was sound asleep. The late morning crash happened with top
running on the desktop showing 165 megs RAM free, no swap used and
98% idle CPU. The powersupply is a relatively new 450 watt beast with
dual fans. Both case fans are clean as is the CPU cooler and fan, and
the box is on top of the stack with the left cover off. (I put a
friend's HDD in temporarily a week ago to back up his data before
reinstalling his {yuck} Win98)
The best I can figure, the problems started after the last updates on
11/26, some of which are listed in my original post. One I didn't
include, is gtk-gnutella which has been running nearly constantly
since it was upgraded. I'll try shutting it down before bed and see
what happens.
