Failing drives almost always spit out some kind of an error in Linux (usually IO errors). I've never been a big fan of those commericial drive testers.

If it's the hard disk, you could try IBM's Drive Fitness Test, and Maxtor and other drive manufacturers should have their own tests.Folks,I have a AMD 1.3GHz 768MB DDR RAM and an MSI Mainboard with an nForce chipset. All had been going well running RH7.2-8.0 Until it started freezing and spontaneously rebooting.... My question is how do I validate my hardware so that I can isolate the actually source of the problem. Normally I rely on known good swap out etc but this time... I need to find the problem before I buy a new bit.... Can anyone help with Linux/DOS based utils for this?
