Three completed runs, all 16 tests, no error. > Running crashme off a boot floppy might also be, ah, interesting... Would this, run by a simple computer user - except possibly crashing my system - produce information which could help to pinpoint the problem? (To say the truth - the explanation at http://people.delphi.com/gjc/crashme.html didn't give me the impression that I could interpret the result.) The problem BTW returned again, now the third time, again only for some minutes. It started during a cron job and started and *ended* during heavy disk activity. (Actually it ended when I started memtest for a third run which seemed to cause some swapping activity.) Maybe, I should test my hard disks. What programs would you recommend for that? Andreas Goesele
