Spontaneous lockups & reboots are either bad software, or memory, CPU or mobo related. As someone else remarked, it could be as simple as overheating, or it could be alot worse. But before you start tearing the box apart, look at your messages & dmeg logs. There could be a very telling error in there. If not, then i'd recommend (even before using memtest86) trying CTCS: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?

It will test our your memory, and so much more.
