I'd suggest you run memtest86 for some passes. The symptoms you describe might very well be caused by dud memory. If that doesn't show anything and you have enough space to move the install away from the disk, run a bad block scan. Both of this will take several hours though, so if anyone got a better idea... -- Got Backup? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
