[vox-tech] Persistant hardware problem kicking my butt
I'm emotionally drained by a persistant hardware problem, and when I become emotionally involved with a problem, I tend to not think clearly. So I'd like to bounce something off the list. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Relevent Hardware: Abit NF7 (NForce 2 chipset) Athlon XP 2200 2 DDR-400 DIMMs. 512MB each. Mad Dog something-or-other DVD/CD writer. Writes DVD9. USB 2.0. 1. I was burning a bunch of DVDs under Win2k. Nero's verification consistantly failed. 2. I switched to Linux and used k3b. Verification of burned image failed as well. 3. Certain programs under Linux were segfaulting out of the blue. They never segfaulted before (Quake III and Unreal Tournament). I didn't detect any GPF under Windows, but who knows what really goes on? 4. Ran memtest86 three times. All three times, memtest86 segfaulted. It indicated that DIMM 0 was the problem. 5. Removed DIMM 1. Reran memtest86. It segfaulted. 6. Removed DIMM 0. Placed what used to be DIMM 1 into slot 0. Reran memtest86 for about 8 hours. No errors. 7. Ran Quake III / Unreal Tourn. in Linux for a while. No segfaults. At this point, I thought the problem was fixed. I was wrong. 8. Burned a CD with k3b. It was a collection of text and binary files.

Re: [vox-tech] Persistant hardware problem kicking my butt
Hey Mark, It was overclocked about ... a year ago? Probably longer. When I first built the machine. I was just taking the board out for a test drive. The board (most of Abit's boards) are designed for overclocking. I wanted to know what the limits were, but after a few days, I found that win2k wasn't completely stable at that speed, so I reset everything back to the default values. It was so long ago, though. How likely do you think that is? Thanks! Pete On Wed 09 Mar 05, 10:02 AM, Mark K. Kim [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Is the computer overclocked by any chance?

Re: [vox-tech] Persistant hardware problem kicking my butt
I'm not sure how relevant it is... just thought it's something to think about. I never overclock my system just in case something like this happens... -_-' But if you didn't keep it up for very long it's probably not the issue... although I'd try a different process on the mobo if you got a mobo-compatible spare just to make sure the CPU isn't the problem. -Mark On Wed, 9 Mar 2005, Peter Jay Salzman wrote: Hey Mark, It was overclocked about ... a year ago?

I wouldn't have recommended that. At the very least, a -i option to cp
would seem appropriate, to ensure against clobbering existing files.
Also, a number of those .h files may not have been intended for
installation to system include directories, so you're cluttering things
up in there.
