Well, the subject says it all. When running applications on my play box, they all end up getting segmentation faults. If they don't get segmentation faults, they apparently aren't executing, since the system sits there forever, and ever. Sometimes, I can do a ctrl+c or a ctrl+z, but other times I can't. The same thing happens when I try to halt the box. It says broadcasting message from root ... and the system is going down for system halt now ..., but that's it, the box just sits there with no activity. Sometimes when I hit ctrl+c, I get shutdown canceled, other times I don't get anything. I've also noticed that if I am logged in via ssh, and try to login via ssh again to have 2 logins going, the client connects, I get the welcome message,I'm told when my last login was, and that I have no mail, and then the second connection is just dropped. Obviously, I've got a hardware problem. However, is it the ram, or is it the cpu? I am leaning towards saying that it's the cpu at this point, but am open to other educated opinions. Thanks in advance. Greg -- Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager@EU.org
