Dear Gord:
Thanks for your quick reply. I will try to answer all of
your questions, as best I can.
I am sending you the system information file from pctools
which is quite complete.
The only additional boards in this machine which is a Hewitt
Rand 386sx-16 with 4 megs of ram are a scanner board for a microtek
scanner model 600z and an everex cassette streaming tape back up.
This freezing in the middle of various applications has only
started recently which leads me to suspect that some chips are
starting to go bad. I really don't want to send the machine to the
serviceman as all he does is replace chips and then check to see if
the machine has frozen, as I'm not convinced he has any better
methods than that, but I could be wrong.
If you have any suggestions please let me know, I'll try anything
I forgot the machine has one or two more bad habits, if you
leave it alone, after about five minutes it reboots itself. I'm not
sure this is a problem as I have a reboot file in my root so that
after I finish faxing thru the faxmodem and having the machine
reboot, I know that the modem will work properly in telix.
I am also getting keyboard errors on bootup every now and then but
they dont seem to do anything as the keyboard seems to work
properly
Regards Stanley
