RE: [newbie] PC locks up solid. NOT FIXED HELP PLEASE can't survive in LINUX this way
OK Here is what I have done... I'll see what happens... Last night I rn memtest86 for 11 hours without a problem. I then read a bunch of email from you great people that sent suggestions. I changed these in LILO.conf but did not reboot. I then ran the BurnK7 for 10 minutes no problem then ran burnBX -L for 10 minutes no problem. Then ran MPRIME for 1 hour no problem. Then I ran all three at the same time for a couple of hours and searched the web for the nvidia drivers. The instructions to load their latest drivers looked a little complex for this newbie so I have not done anything with that. Although I did find what I think is an RPM of the driver. Have to go back and read more. I then came back to windows so I could reply to these emails and I'm going back to reboot and see if the additions to lilo made the difference. More updates later THANKS everyone.

They will stress out various aspects of your system. "cpuburn" was how I first figured out I had a heating problem on my setup.

It stands for "Intel Architecture 32 Bit", and that's you and me and everyone with a conventional PC. All those with Opterons, AMD 64's, and FX-51's need not apply! Remember this IA32 = x86, OK?

NOT FIXED HELP PLEASE can't survive in LINUX this way Steve Whenever anyone complains of lockups like you describe, the most common cause has usually been found to be memory. Now I know you will say it works perfectly in Windows, but the fact is Linux uses memory differently to Windows. Whereas Windows only uses as much memory as the active applications need, Linux will use *all* the available memory as a hard disc cache, so problems in the upper reaches of memory will show up much more on Linux. If you install the memtest86 RPM you will find on rebooting there is a new entry in your Lilo boot screen. Select it, and it will immediately run a continuous memory test. You should be able to run that test all night long without a single error. Any failures, then start looking at your Bios settings. HTH derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
