This is the kernel: 2.2.14w4l #3 Wed Jun 28 20:42:39 EDT 2000 i586 unknown This is my gateway machine. Router. Mail server. Not much else. The only thing I can imagine is the it was running KDM to allow remote GUI logins and the GUI crashed. But, the thang was locked up tight. The screen (console) just showed garbage and the keyboard wouldn't respond. I don't overclock. I can't guarantee the hardware! Overheating is always a potential problem with those 10 cent fans on the cpu. I wouldn't mind replacing the memory, since it is really cheap these days. Joel
