[olug] Computer Woes....

[Craig Wolf]

Joe, if you wanna drive out west with the system, we can look at it
together.  I will show you how to use the Knoppix CD and run Memtest and
how to move the mem around to see who is the problem.  Email me off list
for location.  8)

Oh jeez...  Seems to be the month for lock-ups...  Hey, maybe it's
something freak like static electricity now that we're into winter?

Anyway, what motherboard do you have?  What type of memory are you
using?  Are the mem sticks the same type/speed?  Switch them around and
see what happens.  Can't hurt.
