Hi everyone I was using Centos 5.6 and ran into serious memory problems where it would go so low a freeze on me I had to actually set cron to run every 20 minutes using
" sync ; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches " so I could manage to pull all of my wanted data for a reinstall. so after lots of testing went to 5.5 and now I still have the same issue with default install. No website components are setup yet.
I know about http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ but something just doesnt feel right about this.
I already ran memtest with 12 passes and 0 errors replaced power supply I checked processor for damage and it still looks new. no swelling on mobo eaither "used magnify glass" to inspect.
only this I have done was setup ssh and made ntfs files compatable for external HD copying
here are the server statistics:
Asus mobo - M4A785TD-M EVO
AMD Quadcore 2.8 GHZ athlon processor
8 gigs ddr3 ram dual channel 1333
raid stripping "hardware"
2x 1tb HD 7200 rpm
Here is memory:
