Well, yes, it can be a hardware failure, but then it's a rather
strange coincidence that the crashes started happening immediately
after upgrading to F13 (from F10). Besides, even if it's a hardware
failure, it'd be nice to know which one is the faulty part...
Well , maybe you can try running the system with only a DIMM at once in
slot 0, if the system is stable with one, and at the next test the
machine crash weel that dimm is damaged, if fails both tests the problem
is elsewhere
RE overheated chipset: the north bridge (I _think_ it is the north
bridge: an Intel P965) does feel very hot.
maybe you can hack a internal fan pointed directly to it
