I've spent much of this evening looking into lm_sensors. The 2.6.3 version that comes with 8.0 is fairly old (if you call March 2002 old, I guess) and doesn't seem to detect anything on my Asus P4T533 motherboard (which was not with us in March.) I think I need to check the installed SMBus ASIC (I know it has one) and update to a newer lm_sensors version such as 2.6.5 in case I have the Asus ASB100 Bach. I looked at the lm_sensors web site and notice that upcoming version 2.6.6 will have support for Rambus RIMMs. So here is a case of software catching up with my hardware. I still do not know what is causing the memory test failures. I flunked the memory test script by Doug Ledford, too, in addition to memtest86. I'll continue work on updating lm_sensors and see what the temp readings are. I don't recall anything in my BIOS that displays temperatures (maybe I should look again). The motherboard came with a CD that has a Microsoft Windows-based program which does check on temperatures and voltages. However this is a 100% Linux machine so I can't run the program. I'd like to thank you for pointing me at lm_sensors. A very interesting program. And I'd like to thank everyone for their suggestions. I have to expect that I made mistakes somewhere when I built this machine...all part of the learning process. My next machine (if I have the courage to build it!) will be the better for this experience. Bob Tom Georgoulias wrote: > Cochran Robert L (NO) wrote: > >> Thanks, Tom.
