Memory can actually hard lock a system? I thought it would usually cause a
panic. At least some of the time. That's probably not a bad idea, but I
gave up on the system and got another one. The new system is identical. I
just pulled the hard drive out and plopped it in. This one runs fine, so
there was some kind of hardware issue. I tried reseating everything but the
old one would still hard lock.
Just out of curiosity, have you seen a system where memory would
consistently (within a short time period) hard lock it? Not just in
memtest, but in Linux.
Anyway, I definitely appreciate everyone's help and I get to eat humble pie
about my KVM complaints.
