hello Iain, |

Not sure this is useful, but, if you can get the system to boot, you |
| 10 |
and look more closely at the memory specifics with the 'lshw' command. |
| 11 |
Then if you can find the mobo book, look at the published memory |
| 12 |
requirements and go into the |
| 13 |
bios, and look at the bios settings for something out of the ordinary. |
| 14 |
If you can, swap the memory with another know good system for a few days.... |
| 15 |
Something might show up as a problem |

I always look at the temperature as the mobo makes it available, |
| 21 |
or checking the temperature of the hard drive with 'hddtemp /dev/<drive>' |
| 22 |
Often power supplies will run ok can then glitch causing a |
| 23 |
reboot. It cannot hurt to swap the power supply to see if that |
| 24 |
fixes the random reboots.... |
