Hello,
I have a
cpu --athlon 1800
MoBo -- gigibyte ga-7vrxp
RAM -- 512 meg
Video -- radeon 8500 LE
sound -- Hercules DigiFire 7.1
os -- slack 10
I think that is every thing that could be Important
My problems are random crashing (complete system crash, even sys Rq can't help)
programs that i can make it crash in are
UT2004,- usually while loading a level, sometimes while it is playing
mprime, - about 1 - 2 minites in
compiling my hsf modem drivers (but only on 2.6.6 and later kernels, so it might be a different problem)
blender 3d - randomly
Memtest 86 - no problems
If anyone can think of any tests or ideas i can run they would be apreceated
and one last question i am thinking about buying a sata hd, does linux support them yet? i have googled it and i get mixed results.
THanks

My computer seams to run at
44 C / 111 F cpu idle
36 C / 96 F - System Idle
47 C / 116 F cpu after playing ut2004 for half hour
42 C / 107 F System after playing ut for half hour
Are these temps ok?
I do not believe that the second reply is my problem because i have a via chipset not a NVIDIA Nforce
plus the link seams to be broken ( the one on the linked page not the first one)
Any other ideas, or programs i can check my comp with?
One interesting side note it seams to crash now whenever i use my mouse to click " spell Check or Submit Reply at the bottom of this page but if i tab to them it works fine?
Well, I'm no expert on this, but I don't see any real error. Just wonder why your uhci module is associated with 3 different interrupts. Maybe somebody more knowledgeable will give an explanation
did some research; original poster ? 1ST was cpu overclocked? 2nd may have to do with conflicting programs, 3rd may also conflict with drivers. check those carefully! THIS WAS A QUICK RESEARCH! error prone.
how do i know if i have conflicting programs / drivers?
it did do this in windows as well, when i still used that os
my computer spent all last night and this morning running test programs
memtest 86 - all last night no errors
cpuburn - for many hours no errors
ctcs test - 8 minutes 53 seconds complete system lock up no error generated
mprime - 11 minutes - compleate system lock up a new record for how long my system went
i am currently downloading hard drive tests to try that.
vladinisky; do not think testing is solving problem. take a close & observent
view of post,s #(ur,s)7 & #8. on ur post #7 list 1 through 21 all point to
I/O -APCI levels. that is why i indicated about O-C, that was a null. but what about the rest. all that is indicating something to do with cpu? that is over my head! sorry far as i can be of help. more research to do.
It should be easy to rule out APIC issues, especially since you indicate mprime offers a relatively quick reproduction of the problem.
From the link in my nforce thread, which works fine for me BTW, boot up using at least one of the following options: noapic, nolapic, acpi=no (I'm using all three, as I've not had time to test individually yet)
Try running mprime. If you don't lock up, I'd add which ever option helped until a kernel patch fixes it...
It may also help show that the kernel bug affects other chipsets as well?
i added the line
"append="noacip nolacip no=acip no=apic"
to lilo above the kernel images and i belive that the intended result of turning off acip was achived as
cat /proc/interrupts has changed to
vladilinsky & mdg; post more research, found clue to mishap line indicate
loc 404571 is the error ? is where is it? line #10 unable to decipher although believe it indicates cd( 5x)(hcd),etho0,cs46xx,hsfpcibasic2 is some reference to cpu attempting to communicate via I/O addressing? not sure however those are the indicators. possibility to check on them? may help.
