Could it be a memory problem?

With my settings, at idle the cpu runs at 32°C and at full load about
39°C (according to sensors reading) at a room temperature of 23°C. I
guess this is safe even considering a conservative margin for the
temperature readings.

Or do you allude to that the fancontrol script bundled with lm-sensors
can be unreliable?

Well AMD says it should run at 1.1V at that cpu speed.  Of course that
means a 1.1V steady reliable power source, not one fluctuating between
1.0 and 1.2 (although Asus tends to have rather good power convertors on
their boards, although they still need a decent 12V feed).

You shouldn't need to mess with the voltages.  They should be provided
by the bios and cpu.

I have tried acpi-cpufreq and that seemed to work on an athlon64 mobile
3200+ at least.  Seemed perfectly stable to me.

Well seeing the same address fail each test is a bad sign.  Maybe one
stick of memory has some flacky bits.  That would make things unstable
since it would work sometimes, but not all the time.

Not sure why it would, although if the memory is flacky, who knows.

If there is a defect in a memory chip, it is quite likely to be
localized to one part of the die in the memory chip.

Try one stick of ram at a time.  Most likely it is just one of the
sticks that has errors.  If you get errors in memtest with both, then
the cpu may have a defective memory controller.

Another posibility is that your power supply is crap and isn't providing
a steady enough power supply for the system.  athlon 64s demand very
reliable power.  A cheap 500W often provides less power than a good 300W
due to having unstable voltage levels under load.

I have tried powernowd on my A8V Deluxe with an AMD64 3200+ (Winchester
core).  When it runs at 1000MHz the core voltage is set to 1.1V, which I
suspect is too low for running stably. Maybe the motherboard gives a
too low voltage or the 1.1V is simply to low for my processor.

By manually setting the vcore in the bios I can run at 1.3V at 2000MHz
without any noticeable problems. The nominal value is 1.4 at 2000MHz,
1.35 at 1800MHz, and 1.1V at 1000MHz. I haven't found any way to adjust
these vcore settings, when running in Cool'n'Quiet mode.

I need to add that I have replaced the boxed fan (the mb handbook
states that QnQ only works with the boxed fan and heatsink). I am
controlling the CPU and chassis fan with the fancontrol script in the
lm-sensors package.

What happens when you run with just the 512MB DIMM? The 1GB DIMM could
just be defective.

 I'd been ignoring my Debian inbox for a long time until today...

 I have an Asus K8V (basic) with an Athlon64 3200+ (newcastle core) 1.5GB of
RAM, two IDE disks, two SATA disks, and an ATI AIW Radeon 7200 (but I don't
use the TV in/out features).  I run x86 2.6.12.6.  I'll eventually switch to
AMD64 software when I know my hardware is stable with x86, so I can usefully
make bug reports on crashing software...

 BTW, the K8V is a nice piece of hardware; the AD1980 sound hardware
supports mixing PCM streams in hardware (or at least the driver does?), so I
can have xmms, xine, and whatever other program all not interfering with
each other.  (except when something is doing 4 channel output).  I couldn't
decide between an Abit (I think) with a K8T800Pro chipset and my Asus with
just K8T800, but I eventually chose the Asus because it had Analog Devices
sound instead of Realtek.  I was pleasantly surprised that the sound really
was good on it, esp. with the multiple opens of the sound dev :)

 I've found that my machine is a lot less stable when running at lower than
max speed.  Not just stuff crashing, but memtest (from sysutils, or
memtester; just mlock()s some memory to test, not like memtest86+).  memtest
finds errors when the CPU is slowed down.  There might be other correlated

cpufreq daemon, causing locks and other fun. As soon as I fell back to 
the good old userspace daemons, all my problems went away. I'm not sure 
if AMD64 likes the freq to be adjusted as fast as ondemand does.

Cool'n'Quiet?

When using cool and quiet, the CPU frequecy and the VCORE voltage are 
changed according to data you can find in:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq

You have the running frequency as well as the max, and available 
frequencies.

You can use fancontrol to adjust the fan speed as a function of the 
CPU temperature. With the lm-sensors package are shipped pwmconfig to 
setup a configuration file for the fancontrol program which is also 
part of this package.

questions.

How do the values change if I'm using Cool'n'Quiet? I'm running
powernowd which changes the CPU frequency. Does this conflict with
Cool'n'Quiet?
When using cool and quiet, the CPU frequecy and the VCORE voltage are changed 
according to data you can find in:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq

You have the running frequency as well as the max, and available frequencies.
You can use fancontrol to adjust the fan speed as a function of the CPU 
temperature. With the lm-sensors package are shipped pwmconfig to setup a 
configuration file for the fancontrol program which is also part of this 
package.

Hi!
Does anybody has the Asus K8N mainboard?
I like to configure my sensors.conf for this board.
For now, the output is (default sensors.conf):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sensors

Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1:   +1.50 V  (min =  +1.42 V, max =  +1.57 V)   ALARM

fan3: 1147 RPM  (min =  664 RPM, div = 8)
M/B Temp:+47°C  (low  =   +15°C, high =   +40°C)   sensor =
thermistor
CPU Temp:+35°C  (low  =   +15°C, high =   +45°C)   sensor =
thermistor
vid:   +1.52 V
I disabled fan2 because it is not used.
Has anybody a working sensors.conf for this mainboard?
I've not this board but an ASUS A8V so I cannot answer the previous  
questions.
