The voltages as the BIOS reports them: Vcore = 1.258 V +3.30 V = 3.274V +5.00 V = 5.121V +12.00 V = 11.870V i hope by the end of the day i will be able to test the system with a 1100watt Tagan PSU {a friend just bought a monster pc!}. I will then run: make buildworld... -nikos PS: i can

Thanks for your answers Manolis and Mike. In the beginning i didn't suspect hardware because it happened only at compilation procedures. Now i realize that every other task i do isn't really demanding. Look through /var/log/messages. i get this: Jul 13 09:00:00 apollo newsyslog[1018]: logfile

Not really. All modern CPUs have BIST (built-in self tests) that run even before the BIOS starts, and it would be really rare to actually have a working system with a faulty CPU. Errors in mprime usually indicate some other problem, such as bad memory, bad BIOS settings, overheating or an

It doesn't look like overheating, unless the thermal compound, heatsink and temperature monitor are not properly set. The only times I had reboots like that was due to a driver with an irq conflict, a driver accessing incorrect memory, or running out of space on a device (trying to write to
