I tried numerous sticks of ram trying to solve my problem with seg faults, finally I back the bus speed down to 95 from 100 and everything worked perfectly from then on... just an idea :) -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of mikea Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 9:39 AM To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: random crashes on 4.4-S - ASUS CUSL2-M mobo On Thu, Jan 17, 2002 at 11:52:09PM -0500, Eric L.

Do you have a different mobo that you can slide under the CPU(s), RAM, cards, etc.? Can you put the box out on a table and to a fingertip temperature check of things during operations? Have you tried dis- and re-connecting/inserting _EVERYTHING_, on the premise that it might be an intermittent connection triggered by vibration? Can you swap in a new power supply? Got any cooling spray? If yes (a can of compressed air for cleaning things will work), try cooling down specific components, one at a time. Do the same thing with a heat gun or hair dryer. Tap the board gently to try to isolate bad solder joints. At this point, it's grab-at-straws time. And, of course, the serial console idea is a good one.
