What sort of hardware? Are you running in runlevel 5 (with the X Window System) or runlevel 3 (without)? If you normally have graphics, and the system is a server, try booting in runlevel 3 : https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-December/msg04024.html If that doesn't help, try memtest86 (yes, I *know* you said the box ran perfectly for three years. That means less than you think.) Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | Who knows what evil lurks in the database? @westexe.demon.co.uk | -- The megahal program, trained on my quote file.
