I realize that it looks like a hardware issue and swapping out the memory, CPU and hard drive controller/hard disk didnt help. It is very strange...I am wondering if the AMD cpu's i am using are just crap or something. they are 300 and 350's running at 100 MHZ FSB, I even tried slowing it way down to 66 MHZ fsb and 200 MHZ without any real increase in stability. Maybe there is a bios issue i need to look at closer does any one have any suggestions?

Ok, here is a good one for you. I switched motherboards, from a board based on a VIA chipset to an ASUS board based on an ALi chipset. At first after booting up, everything was fine. Then, the next day, just all of a sudden, I couldn't telnet or ftp into the machine. I rebooted it, and sendmail wouldn't start, and I still couldn't ftp or telnet into it, or access anything by its DNS name, although I could still ping stuff by its IP, apache still started though. I figured maybe I needed a re-install what with changing the mobo and all, so I re-installed, re-formatting during the install. But, even after the fresh install, the same problem still existed.
