If there is a pattern - ie always crashed at the same place or when you do the same thing, then maybe a kernel upgrde will fix it. If however the crashed seem to be random - it seems more like a hardware issue. Try compiling the kernel a few times and if that is ok, it may be software. There are also software to check memory like memtest86 which is apt-gettable. HTH, Shri ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shri Shrikumar U R Byte Solutions I.T.
