There are a few steps you should try, first of all, you might want to download memtest86, an open source memory tester, and test your system memory. Also, most BIOS nowdays have the ability to show you the CPU and system temperature, while it will be a little lower than actual running temps, it will be a decent indicator of what the temperature was (Your 1.4ghz Athlon shouldn't be any higher than 140F, below 130F is a good temperature, mine hovers at 118F in a cool room under light load) you can also try lm_sensors in linux, which will read the temperature from the onboard sensors for you. You should also try removing all non essential components from the system while testing, putting them back in one-by-one (including extra sticks of RAM) Basicly: heat memory bad components If the problems continue even after testing components, you can try another CPU/RAM stick in the system, before you go about the task of removing the actual motherboard. > -- > Perry Hoekstra > E-Commerce Architect > Talent Software Services > perry.hoekstra at talentemail.com -- Matthew S.
