For years. Then= =20 around 9 months ago or so, I can't recall exactly, it started causing crash= es. =20 What happens is that the monitor will go to sleep and the disk will stop=20 immediately, but the machine continues to run and run and run ... At that point I have lost access to the keyboard and the monitor does not w= ake=20 up if I move the mouse. Using ssh to connect shows that the machine is off= =20 the network, so I assume that the NIC is also suspended. The only way to=20 recover is to pull the plug. :-( Unfortunately, mysql has left a lock file behind, so it won't start at rebo= ot=20 until I remove the lockfile. Now, here's the strange thing about all this. I have 4 RAM modules, 2x1G a= nd=20 2x500M. Following the manual I have installed them in this order: =20 slot 1 - 1G, slot 2 - 0.5G, slot 3 - 1G, slot 4 - 0.5G If I try to suspend the machine soon after boot, when it is still using low= =20 amounts of memory, the machine will suspend each time without fail (just li= ke=20 it used to do in the past). If I wait until the machine is using more than 1G or so, then it will alway= s=20 crash. I'm running memtest86+ just in case, but 3 passes and no errors are shown s= o=20 far. Suspend to RAM is really a time saver on this machine and was being u= sed=20 at least 4-5 times a day. Now the box is running non-stop 16 hours a day o= r=20 more, which is wasteful (although with the Pentium4 I'm saving on central=20 heating bills!) Any ideas what I can look into to resolve this? =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart2598231.kLQrZYNhDh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk5Q3a0ACgkQVTDTR3kpaLa22ACeKLptgjX3yBJ5b+XUsQYpKXhX Ih4AoIo5LYKbMbVAYP9aKRn799mP9du8 =ISU7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2598231.kLQrZYNhDh--
