Sounds like a hardware problem to me.
Can you post your machine configuration, include the power supply and
memory used?
It's an MSI RS480M2-IL mother board with an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ CPU, and two 512MB DDR-400 PC3200 RAM. Primary hard drive is an 80 gig IDE ATA/100 WD drive, and there are actually four different 250 gig SATA/150 WD drives, as well as a pair of Lite-on 16x DVD+-R/RW IDE dual layer drives. The CPU has a 400 watt VTech power supply, and there are multiple fans in the case.

I don't have more specific information on the power supply available without opening up the computer (which I'll do if that'd be helpful).

The network adapters are the built-in one, and a Netgear GA311 Gigabit Ethernet.

I've installed the AMD 64-bit version of Fedora, 2.6.13, on a new computer with 1 gig of RAM, one PCI-connected IDE drive, and three SATA disks. My most recent experience with Linux was RH 8.1 or so. Bad things are happening...

1) The computer locks up frequently. It usually happens while I'm executing rsync or rcp

2) Nautilus crashed repeatedly. I was able to bring up three terminal windows, but now I cannot start up other applications such as Thunderbird. 'top' reports that I'm using almost all of the memory installed, although I'm barely touching the swap file; I wonder if that has something to do with it.

3) I'm now getting various "Oops" messages from Fedora in my terminal window as I rsync.
