/var/log/dmesg<BR>for any messages pertaining to the problem.<BR><BR>To be

problem.<BR><BR>2. Flakey RAM. Just because the machine will run
Windows is no<BR>indication that RAM is reliable. If you can, download
and run memtest86<BR>(<A

boot a Fedora Core CD and<BR>enter "memtest86" at the "boot:"
