It's been several months ago, but I did run about eight hours of
memtest86 on the memory. Is it unusual for memory to work fine for
a while and *then* go bad?
Mmm. No.
Mine did exactly so.
I might try a new power supply anyway.
A faulty PS would give you odd hw-related (mostly cd-related) errors in
logs, random freezes and random shutdowns... I think it's unlikely to
give segfaults. however...
For what it's worth, mysterious problems on this box have come and
gone for probably a year now. Every time something comes up, it's
so random that I don't even know where to start looking.
I bet it's a faulty mobo...
