I ran memtest86 already for about 20 minutes without error. (I forgot to mention that in original post). I will run it overnight tonight to see if anything else pops up. I am skeptical that it's bad RAM since the problem occurred after upgrading and I would have expected some kernel panic errors in the logs or something like that, although I suppose bad RAM can manifest itself in different ways. -- Chris Purves Visit my blog: http://chris.northfolk.ca "...he was right in front of me trying to block my way, so I took him out." - Jean Chrétien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
