Hi, I'm afraid I don't know the solution to your problem but you may find some useful information for dealing with this kind of issue here. http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ I randomly used to get signal 11 problems with a particular MySQL version, but upgrading to a later version cured that. Memory is quite commonly at fault (and quite easy to verify), so if you have more than one stick try removing one of them and/or swapping them around and see if you still get the same problems (you could also run memtest http://www.memtest86.com/ ) Hope this helps. David
