Thanks for the advice. I ran memtest on my redhat 8 machine (which works fine) and got a clean memtest86 bill of health. I then ran it on my machine thats been crapping out (Redhat 9), and it failed miserably. I then took a stick of ram out of my "good" machine, placed it in the "crap" machine and the test failed. This leads me to believe that it could be something else, like over heating, the motherboard, etc. Any thoughts?
