Under XP, I can get it to freeze fairly quickly running AquaMark3 (video graphics test). Under FreeBSD (5.2), I tried to isolate the video card by doing one of the buildworlds over the network (no console scrolling) and it still hung. As in FreeBSD, light use doesn't seem to cause any problems. In this case, light use included moving ~30GB of traffic via XP file sharing (and under FreeBSD I did a CVS checkout of the (src) source trees with SSH). Under Memtest 86, the machine will eventually reboot the box (so far sometime after ~45 minutes and 5+ runs through the test with no errors found.Received on Mon Jan 19 2004 - 13:40:05 UTC
