I agree, hardware issue with mobo, or proc (since north bridge memory controllers are usually built in here now). Seems more like a south bridge issue (where pci bus liives), but could be memory corrupting things as well. Remove any external pci card you can, including usb devices. I had a

It comes up fine for me... Try turning off ray tracing and antialiasing, and/or lowering your rendering resolution perhaps it will render faster. grin Ok that was stipid, but I couldn't resist making a blender render joke. Brian Cluff On 01/14/2014 02:19 PM, ChasM wrote: Anybody know why

Just let it run a cycle on it - not always clear, I'll find i don't notice where it ends or start at times, but varies with the amount. I'd say maybe a few hours on 8-16gb to run all patterns. I had a video card glitch and cause panics like that before when in death throws. -mb On

The mem test ran about an hour and a half and found no problems. The box was set up as a dual boot with win7 (which I had never used), so I tried it and it worked. So I tried my Linux Mint 13 Live CD from which this system was originally installed and it works fine in all respects as far as I can

Perhaps your hard drive is dying and since you were running Linux, at the time, thats where the damage occurred. Or something happened software wise the cause file system corruption. If boot disks or other hard drives are working, you could try booting into one of those and then mounting

So I shut the system down for a while, and after about an hour, I tried it again and it started up fine. It wasn't particularly hot (it's a Lenovo net-top) but after cooling down, it started up okay ... enough so that I could back up all my data. So what can I do to test the HD and other parts

The first thing I would do is check to see if all the cooling fans are spinning full speed or at all. If they are, check that your heat syncs all securely stuck to their chips. If they wiggle at all, you'll need to pull them off and Clean off all the old heat sync compound, reapply new

Yours sounds a bit similar to a situation I had. I had happened to on a m1330 dell laptop with an defective batch of nvidia 9000-series gpus that were popping off the bga on the mobo. Linux would do that to me, basically hit gdm, login, and when compiz kicked in and composited the desktop
