Thus Linux suffered from frequent rebots and halts (especially when running mplayer/mencoder) but Windows didn't (draw your own conclusions).<BR/>In the end the CPU died altogether, got replaced and is running Linux ever since as a small humble server.<BR/>Maybe the same thing applies here? Linux just uses your hardware in some no very well supported ways? (e.g. hard drive DMA was turned off by default in some older Windows versions)jpchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403272030490907018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-267967203861801529.post-56964150358353786322007-07-21T13:01:00.000-07:002007-07-21T13:01:00.000-07:00Me neither.

I have no idea why you might be having problems because I'm no Linux expert myself, nor am I superb on the level of hardware.Jason Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11691342796284510567noreply@blogger.com
