Thanks for the help. I tried memory check but nothing is wrong with
it. By the way this FC5 box is on Duron chip and guess the motherboard
is also quite old. "sensor-detect" detects mostly the NVIDIA things
only, not a thing about CPU/Chipset temp/fan speed. I guess its not
supported.

I guess something is wrong with my cable. I changed the cable and now
its fine again. I used to leave this machine unattended for minimum of
3 days straight and its running without complain. I don't know if its
going to show same thing again. Post it later if porblem occurs.

Thanks again!
