A very well done trouble shooting! you're lucky that during the process, your memory module isn't burn out (voltage overload could do that sometimes AFAIK). lately many issues surface which tend to has something to do with hardware, for example the excessive power consumption (ASPM). Sensors are all we need. Linux could already fetch numbers from SMART, cpu sensors etc. Maybe we need memory voltage sensors too? :) -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
