Recently I have been having problems with my machine completely freezing up

reset.

I was wondering how I could go about trying to figure out what is going on?
What log files can I look at to figure out what happened just before the
reset etc? Would be grateful for any help.

My specs are the following:

Fedora 17 standard desktop version, completely updated as of June 17, 2012.

i7-3930K clocked at 4.2Ghz with 1.240 vcore (stable)
Gigabyte X79-UD7
Nvidia GTX285 (main suspect, since it is provably broken. However, I have
not had these problems earlier)
SATA HDD from Seagate.




I strongly recommend that you check your RAM with memtest or something similar both normal and overclocked. Symptoms might be similar to that described by you. You'll then eliminate one piece of hardware.

Hey Mateusz, I have run several passes of memtest with no problem, and the memory has not been clocked, so I don't think that is the culprit. I will wait until it happens again and try out the guides posted above.
