It happened RIGHT after I upgraded the system to a new CPU, board, and RAM, and to 3.50STABLE. I thought maybe there was a OS issue with my SUP or something (I was hoping). That's when it started happening. God, I dont have TIME to weed thru trying new boards and new CPUs. I wish there was a quick fix. ------------------------------------------------- Chris Byrnes, Owner NSI NIC HANDLE CB5820 Jeah Communications http://www.jeah.net ------------------------------------------------- On Wed, 23 Aug 2000, Simon wrote: > it can be anything! and i mean anything! bad RAM, bad harddrive, bad CPU, etc... and i know EXACTLY how it feels > when shit like this happens.
