I'll probably have to do that because I changed the default to 2 in /boot/grub/grub.cfg in order to get it to run memtest.
And memtest has now run 2 full cycles with no errors. I think I will let it get cold again tonight before I break out of memtest, just for S&G. The bios health screen says one of the 5's is 4.86, but it seems stable so I wonder if it has a good temp comp, or fades as the temps drop. I really expected to see memory errors right quick. This crash is one that takes the video down to just noise on the screen. I suppose a fresh psu is next, based on that low 5 volts. It will NOT be an Antec, they spend far more on engineering those to run 2 weeks past the warranty & fall over, expecting more sales that way. I have not had one of those work for more than a month past the warranty and I've had several. :( Eventually I figure this stuff out. ;-) There is another 5 volts it reports as being 5.01, so I hope it not the mobo. Nearly 20:00 here, and down to 51F. I turned off the heat and lights for the night. [...] Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
