How much Googling have you done on this problem?
I tend to think it's a hardware problem. Start with the RAM; swap it
out, or least reseat it, as a test. Then, I would suspect a drive or a
drive controller, but it would be easier to check the removable cards
such as NICs. Basically, you will need to do trial-and-error hardware
removal until you find the problem.
What changed before the PC started to crash?

Ok folks, Im going to lay it out for you. My linux box is teetering on the
edge of getting thrown out the damn window with this freaking problem.
Lately it's been acting really strange. Randomly just not letting me log
on
(the screen goes black, screen saver like, and then never comes back, nor
can i log on remotely through ssh/telnet). Or, it will just crap out in
the
middle of a session. Or the kicker is this error message, which seems to
come at no particular time or for any conceivable reason. Brace
yourselves...

------------------------------------------
I have not a clue as to what the hell any of this means. I am running a
stock redhat 7.0 system, same kernel 2.2.16-22 on my Athlon 850, 256MB
ram,
2 3c905C 3com ethernet cards... I have reinstalled from discs, completely
formatting partitions, and the same result. I have experimented running
every service imaginable or barebones, and one of the above still takes
place. It even has happened after a very painful upgrade to 8.0. So now I
am
back to 7.0 again. Prior to this, the machine worked perfectly with the
exact same hardware setup, so I am at a loss.
If any of you out there either 1. know what the F this means and would
like
to tell me, or 2. just like computers so much that seeing mine fly out the
second story window would be more painful them comical, your assistance
would be much appreciated. My frustration is reaching "Falling Down"
level...............
