I've often asked something similar from PC shops, as their testing seemed to comprise of just seeing if it'll boot and stay running for half an hour... I think that only something from the board manufacturer could do that. Only they'd know exactly how their combination of hardware should perform, and I can't seem them releasing something that probed their hardware completely, it'd just aid in reverse engineering. > I'm talking about a machine that has had swaps to power supply, disk, > ram, ram slots, is clean, reinsertion of cards etc, yet nothing > definitive is showing up. Tends to point the finger at motherboard or CPU... I hope you always took anti-static precautions during handling. But it's just as easy for it have been zapped before you ever touched it, and it took "this long" for the problem to appear. Static damage is like that - mostly not instant, just weakening something for a later catastrophe. -- (This box runs Centos 5.0, my others still run FC 4, 5, 6, & 7, in case that's important to the thread.)
