Odd one for y'all tonight
A few weeks ago, my mate (whos a tall bugger) fell into my PC (long story ), and gave it a good dunt, ever since - running Windows, i've had general system instability and apps closing randomly.
In my haste to want to blame windows (because im silly like that), I killed it off my HD and run ubuntu for the past week or so, but it has random app crashes and apps just closing, I'm running my Vista RC2 at the mo, and its having the same problem - pretty much ruling out software errors I think.
I've tested the RAM with Memtest, the HD reports no SMART errors, and the CPU is underclocked by about 20Mhz so it doesnt crash in 3D apps, i've yet to stress test it but , its looking like its gonna be the culprit...I shall run orthos and see how it lasts with that and keep the thread updated
Any suggestions welcome
