Scumbria, Re: One of my Duron systems has started hanging every night, and my Athlon-DDR system hangs intermittently.

Do you think it has something to do with the heat generated from Athlon that affects other part of the system ? I have an 3 years old PII 266 which begins to behave strangely and I am now able to pin down to the AGP display card(or the slot) as I can kind of 'fix' by unplug and replug it in.

SCUMbria - re: "Why would I joke about something like that? One of my Duron systems has started hanging every night, and my Athlon-DDR system hangs intermittently. The i815/Linux system has been absolutely rock solid."

That's a pretty DAMNING assessment.

Let's see - statistically 100% of your AMD systems have problems - and 100% of your Intel systems run rock solid.

Care to re-post your results on the AMD Mod thread?

So in your opinion, what is the issue? Is this a software problem or a hardware problem???

Have your run an up to date virus scan lately?
Had a virus and cleaned it?
How do your system resources look?
Do your kids use any of those computers?
Have you added any programs to those computers?
Windows media player? CD burning software?

>The i815/Linux system has been absolutely rock solid.<

Are the AMD systems also running Linux or are they running Windoze?
