I am also assuming that you are using the same RAM which was
installed in the "fried" motherboard. And what about the CPU? I
generally don't consider CPU's because, in my experience, they're
either on or off. But RAM is a bit more forgiving; that is, it is
more prone to dying a slow death.
I think I transfered one or two of the RAM sticks, though memtest86
has not detected any errors. I am only aware of the standard 8 tests
and the 9th (bit fade) test.
Oops. Make that "the standard *9* tests (0-8) and the *10th* (bit fade)
test".
Then I had to figure out why I was still unable to launch Mozilla (some
lock file that had to be hunted down and destroyed). Then, things were
back to normal, for a while.
Mozilla can and does do this all on its own without any help from
errant hardware. OO.o puking starts to look suspicious. Suspiciously
like RAM. Both programs like lots of healthy RAM.
Perhaps the RAM was flaky on system #3, but it passes memtest86 tests
1-9 flawlessly.
Oops. Make that *0*-9.
o Download and use the manufacturer's diagnostic software for your
drive. AFAIK, all of the major brands (IBM, Maxtor, WD, etc.)
have such a program available on their Websites.
I'll check on this after memtest has its run.
Good.
I think it's Samsung, but I guess I'll have to power down to check.
"dmesg" only tells me
hde: HDS722516VLAT80, ATA DISK drive
I don't know why I was thinking Samsung. It is a Hitachi. And their
web site is even noted on the drive.
