Hi guys;
A problem cropping up intermittently which I have not been able to
find a solution to. I have a PIII with an Intel board, shifetd to Deb
Lenny with LXDE to ensure low processr load. Work mostly on command
line. RAM maxed at 521 MB. Created swap space.
Monitor at 1024x768 AOC widescreen. The sytem crashes when watching
movies, X becomes speckled and the keyboard and mouse stop responding.
Tried a vendor who stated my on board Intel Graphics processor is
faulty; removed it; problem persists. System and kernel log reveal gap
for the period.
Top indicates greater usage of RAM with time, some load shifted to
swap. Some daigonistic hints
(a) BIOS beeps thrice on start-Indicates a RAM initial memory fault,
tested RAM/ changed RAM seems OK.
(b) Serial presence not detected as indicated in start-up.
(c) Deleting orphan i-node indiacted in demesg.
Any hints? Dont go, dump the kit, works well, why kill it and add to
junk; am sure there is a workaround.
Thanks
Regards
Podi
