Update: Underclocked from 1.8G to 1.2G (whups, meant to go down only 2-300mhz) and its been vaguely stable for about 1.5 days. I don't have another week (yet..) to run it under its normal load and wait for a crash, so what I'm going to do is: - Move the workload (web/mail/..) to a different machine so this one can be down for an extended period - Replace the ram with new sticks (they arrived this morning) - Reclock everything to stock (1.83G cpu, 200mhz ram and verify the timings from kingston) - Replace the video card - Memtest86 until it cries - If it passes, bonnie++ on the new drives - If that passes, usb/acpi/apic testing with the associated patches
Anyone still watching this? Tips and suggestions on what else might be useful/informative are more than welcome. The tests above mostly replicate what I did when building this box, and it passed them then..
Recap: Epox 8rda+ nforce2 mobo AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (Barton) 1.83G Kingston HyperX PC3200 WD Caviar WD1200JB 8M/UDMA100 Antec case w/ 350W AMD-certified PSU
Oopses and occasional hangs, usually in do_generic_file_read, using stock kernel.org 2.4.2x kernels. Hardware passed testing (memtest86, bonnie++) before I put Linux on it.
