yes it is completly possible. But it is also possible, that your PSU is not powerfull enough. A big compile needs a lot of processing power and stresses the ram, so a lot of current is needed - and some PSUs aren't able to cope with such a load -exspecially if they are cheap and/or a little bit older. Try another PSU, do you still have problems, RMA the ram. Memtest86(+) is known not to find all errors. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
