Re: [gentoo-user] kernel panick after time while compiling....

[Tamer Higazi <th982a@googlemail.com>]

It's usually a quality power supply unit, that made it 6 years.

However, what I find totally strange, at the same time. That
applications die during my work.

Totally strange, like "clock" dies, and restarts. Eclipse dies, firefox
dies.....

I have the feeling that memory and power supply are making me headache.


windows died yesterday during installation of .NET SP 4.5 fixes.....

The machine drives me nuts.... However, I am getting myself a new machine.
