Try leaving the mem test running for a while, see if it will do it with that running. Could have just been the dust too lol.

weirdness. I'm also running memtester on the live system...so far, so
good. The machine is about 5 yrs old - maybe this is my excuse to build
myself another one.
The crash is weird, sometimes it crashes within a couple of minutes of
booting the system, and other times, it takes a week. I still claim
that it started happening when I upgraded from SuSE 10.1 to Kubuntu
10.10, but I did open the case and install a new SATA hard drive at that
time as well. This machine was an absolute rock when running SuSE 10.1.
We'll see what happens...thanks, everybody, for the helpful suggestions.
Later,
Andy
