Re: What hardware can cause crashes?
My time honored method is to start swapping parts - I'm getting my but kicked by a couple of brand-new disks right now. Swapped out controllers and cables, the system still is useless, but I'm now sure it's the disks. Better yet, I know it's the brand-new disks, not the old ones. Fortunately, it's not the disk I have BSD on, just a data drive, otherwise it would be hard to swap out and isolate, but with bsd, you can swap pretty much every component but the root disk for a new one and it will still boot. It can get expensive fast, but what can you do?

The things I usually suspect first are memory, power supply and cooling. MemTest86 http://www.memtest.org/ is a good exerciser / diagnostic for memory and the related chips & buses. Download the iso, burn it, boot it, run it. The other stuff I don't have any easy suggestions for, but memtest is a good start. -RW ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Any hardware can cause crashes if it is broken.

So I rely on you to help me determine which hardware can cause frequent crashes(page faults mostly). My system specs: Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+, MB: ECS (nforce4) A939 , geforce 6600gt 128mb, two memory modules kingstone and kingmax both 512mb, two hdd drives Samsung and WD both 250GB, Realtek chipset NIC, Cirrus logic cs4281 audio card. Any suggestions are appreciated. ytriffy. (In theory) all hardware can cause problems as well as the drivers which run them. The problem is that you most likely didn't provide enough of the right information for people to determine what the problem was, or point you in the right direction. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
