By complete runs, do you mean 3 passes. I've read you need atleast 8 passes to be sure and I believe from observation but could be wrong that each pass tests different things as do the tests. I've only ever waited for 8 passes, once or twice however (just after I'd read about it), it took ages. > I pulled and reseated all the memory and then did 5 'make -j8 build' runs > successfully, no more hangs. > > Very strange, but this is why I like to stress-test new builds...
