I had this once, and it turned out that the CPU generated so much heat that the memory modules didn't like it, and so everything either segfaulted, or a total lockup like the one you describe, occured. 66C is a little warm. I would have a look at your memory chips, identify them, google for the specs, and compare their heat tolerant levels against the temperature the CPU is at. -- Thomas Adam ===== "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- http://linuxgazette.net "TAG Editor" -- http://linuxgazette.net "<shrug> We'll just save up your sins, Thomas, and punish you for all of them at once when you get better.
