Hi Jesper, Oh i thought they were the same, i used memtest86+ which comes with debian and not the "older" memtest86. Right now i booted the kernel with nomce since one never knows with dell machines as i saw on some redhat list. Furthermore i installed the microcode32 utility which loaded new microcode in the cpu. So i'm now going to continue put some good load on the system, tv on and so on, see what happens. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
