CENTOS Crashes after around ten minutes everytime
 

I administer a workstation with 99 GIG of RAM and it crashes each time I turn it on EVEN if I don't do anything , I login to my Centos and work normally for around ten minutes and then the screen LOCKS the way it is. Just hangs. then I have to hold power button for 10 sec to force Shut... each time it happens there is no sign in top pointing to shortage of memory or blah blah ..

here is my MESSAGES LOG and MY ERROR LOG :

Hi:

I looked up this WARNING that you are having:

This member in this thread says that this ( Gtk-WARNING: gtkwidget.c:5628: widget not within a GtkWindow) is a warning and not an error, this is actually a programming fault and not a configuration fault.
It is mentioned on page 2 of the thread.

Re: Problem with XDMCP at Centos 6.x x64 (6.3 included)
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/...38212&forum=55

Did you just recently perform a fresh installation of your distribution?
If so it is possible that the ISO images/files could of been corrupted-


You said that the lock happens somewhere about there- I wonder if it may be a graphics issue?
Hardware failure? I'm not the expert but giving you a few things to debate upon-

Maybe another member will be more knowledgeable and be of more assistance to you but I'm trying to help.

How old is your computer?

These links may be of help:

Hope this helps

The crash on centos
 

Thanks a lot 4 UR quick response :D

The Workstation is 8 months old, and the centos installation as well.

This Crash happens EVEN if I just leave everything be, works fine for a period of time and then crash, with this error logs

After I saw this I guessed that maybe updating my YUM installed packages and softwares would help and then I did a YUM update but the problem still was there,

I also got this errors:

IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj

rpcbind: rpcbind terminating on signal. Restart with "rpcbind -w"

I also came up with this command on my workstaion which might be useful !!!

lsmod which lists the modules loaded as the kernel comes up I guess!

I have not be trained to read all of the kernel modules and know what they should contain.

I did however find that the ip6tables are used to set up, maintain and inspect the tables of IPV6 packet filter rules in the Linux kernel. Each table contains an number of built -in chains.

The 'ext4 3703973' in your lsmod output is one of the partition that pertain to your operating system.

I think that 'firewireohci 246950 lib/modules' is one of your kernel mod's-
However I'm still learning myself. Sorry I can't tell you more.

Do you remember; what were you doing just before your system started crashing?

Also; if you are not the only user on that workstation is there a chance that another employee could have accidentally deleted a file that is essential to the OS running?

If I were you I would consider running 'Memtest86' it is a good tool for detecting hardware failure.
That is a possibility as well.
