It's a vanilla install of debian testing... Same as most of my linux boxes.
You're right on the NIC driver... I wasn't sure which one worked so did both as a module. However there are no kernel oopses or anything in logs which is what I'd expect from a kernel-related fault. My $20 is on PSU... But I was wondering if theres anyway to increase logging to show what has happened. -- C.

I'd stick with one or the other. I take it with that spec you're probably not running a gui, or have you investigated the problem I had with onboard graphics scribbling over system memory that I had?
