Hi folks! I've just set up a new system with a VIA EPIA mini-ITX motherboard. In essence, it is working just fine... apart from some occasional reboots. The first time it happened, I was running xosview (which was using about 256MB of system memory!) as well as other apps in parallel. It happened yesterday and today again while ripping some CD's. For info, the system is fitted with 512MB, included 32MB of shared memory for graphics. It is not the first time I experience system reboots on PC's with shared memory for graphics: my other machine had the same unstability until I plugged an NVidia graphics card and disabled the on-board chipset. I would like to avoid doing the same here as I would like to keep power low (I use it mainly for emails and word processing, not 3D games). Any advice on stabilizing a system with shared memory? BTW, I'm running 5.4-RELEASE with a few tweaks in the kernel but did not find a fix for this yet. -- Olivier Gautherot olivier@gautherot.net
