Haven't run either. Which memtest should I install, memtester-2.93.1-3mdk or memtest86-3.0-2mdk. I'm wondering though if Xscreensaver didn't have something to do with this. I also had a problem a week or so ago with the system rebooting itself. I never did catch it in the act though. I've since gone back to running one of the screensavers installed with mdk 9.0 and haven't had any problems so far. -- Regards Chris Registered Linux user #283774 @ http://counter.li.org 9:47pm up 1 day, 4:42, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.15
