No, the two are not related. In my experience, anything that goes wrong |
| 7 |
at random times is related to hardware flakiness -- usually because some |
| 8 |
piece of the hardware is running too hot. |

I happen to live in a very hot, dry, dusty place. I see random flakiness |
| 11 |
just about every summer, which I fix by blowing the thick layer of dust |
| 12 |
off of the CPU heatsink and RAM chips and the power supply with a can of |
| 13 |
compressed gas. Of course, I also check that all of the fans in the case |
| 14 |
are still working. |

Do you know about memtest86? If you have random nastiness you should run |
| 17 |
memtest86 at least overnight to see if your RAM is becoming senile ;o) |

I have suggestions about grub also, but, to be coherent about them I need |
| 20 |
to be much more awake than I am now. I'll check back tomorrow. |
