While it is possible that it has something to do with the debian installation, e.g. maybe the kernel has an option built-in which makes the computer unhappy, IME, random lock-ups of this type are almost always a sign of bad memory. I would highly recommend making a memtest86 boot CD-ROM and running memtest to see what happens. If you have access to some memory dimm's trying swapping out memory. if you have more than 1 dimm, try using one at a time and see if the behavior changes. brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
