Hi,
I guess I am having hardware problem with my FC5 box. The box suddenly
hangs without any user intervention, displaying message something like
(in console mode , no GUI).
a) DWARF UNWINDER ...stucked at some point
b) FATAL EXCEPTION on Interrupt
This is not the first time it happened. During first time it happened,
I thought it was a motherboard problem, so I exchanged the new
motherboard to same kind. Exchanged everything except Harddrive and
CPU. Now this problem suddenly popped out again.
So here are my questions:
===================
1. Can CPU be defective?? Is it possible?? How and why?
2. If I change the hardware entirely (I guess I can't find the
motherboard and CPU of same kind anymore), can I still use my old FC5
installation ?? What I mean is will my old FC will detect the hardware
changes and make necessary adjustment with drivers and everything will
be fine?
I am afraid if I need to reinstall entire thing again, it will take
considerable amount of time since it is heavily customized and need to
interrupt the normal work.
==============
Thanks
I have had three power supplies go in the last year on my box. Two were
made by Antec with the same fault of the +5V rail dropping close/below
the limit. This seems to be a known fault and can be fixed. Even a
brand new one out of the box had only 4.8 volts on the 5 volt rail.
It took out one DVD burner and caused strange lockups and hardware issues.
I found that sensors doesn't report the voltages accurately in
comparison to using a digital meter.
Just something worth checking.
