I think I'll try asking for help with this one once more:
I still get a lot of segfaults on my Red Hat 9 machine. These always occur when I put high load on the system, but apart from that, the behaviour is completely arbitrary; any of the running processes may crash, and more often than not, it's a different one from the one actually loading the system. The system log doesn't tell me anything about what happened.
As always, I suspect a hardware problem, but I'm at my wit's end when it comes to figuring out exactly what component is faulty. I'm very nearly sure it's not the memory, though, as I still get the behaviour after replacing the entire RAM.
Two things come to mind Heat and power. Heat will cause a hard working
CPU to do weird things and a weak or undersized power supply will do
strange things as well.
First ting I would do is monitor the cpu temp with lmsensors and see ifYes, probably a good idea. I've never run lmsensors on this box, though, and it doesn't work directly ;-( It starts, but the values returned just don't make sense at all. This is on an Abit KT7 mainboard. Ideas?
there is a correlation between cpu temp and the failures.
