Thanks Robert,
So what is the procedure in Linux to test for these problems? I was thinking: - scan for bad blocks - maybe check the SMART results if they are available - memory check: memtest86 & memtest86+ tests (just in case)
Anything I missed?
Does someone know a diagnostics utilities CD (a la Dell diagnostics) that you can boot on your PC, let run for x hours and get feedback?
Cheers,
