Hi All Read a thread on ASUS/SIS and here is my story.
A year and 2 months before i bought a compaq s5030il which has sis651 chipset 128 ram and p42.6ghz pre loaded with turbo linux.In the first week it started with sudden hangup. Believe me Redington replaced the motherboard three times and the fourth time i took it to there office and i don't know what they did but it started working fine for a month and again now the same problem but i am left with no warranty on the system. The vendor even said it was because linux.
There is no error at syslog, kernel log. Windows xp gives system error(102) and when error submitted states a Hardware failure. A reboot and the system may be fine for hours or sometimes in 20 to 30 minutes it will hang again. Can somebody help me with what could be the possibilty. Device manager shows everything fine.
Is there any software like pc-doctor which can diagnose this problem which is a freeware in linux.Or can somebody guide me on this. I don't want to call redington guys because the maximum they would do is again replace the motherboard which they have done before. Can anybody assume what could be going wrong here or a way where the OS can exactly state which is the failing hardware.

Do you have any hardware diagnostics on your motherboard? If not, you are out of luck, and you need to replace all parts, starting from the CPU fan to the motherboard one at a time and test.

Hi ,
can't say exactly.But i did face similar problem. Windows and Linux both used to hang in my case. Windows as usual gave the blue screen with some interrupt problems. Later on the problem became severe and the computer stopped booting totally. This was the problem of BIOS in my case.Replaced the BIOS and working fine.

It seems like a cooling issue... do an open test and monitor the temperatures of the graphics chip and the CPU.
If the problem indeed is cooling, try installing another fan inside the cabinet. Make sure the heatsink paste is properly applied... or use one of the premium ones (arctic ice).
Regards,
ah

Did you replace the RAM and cross check? Always do that to eliminate the possible reasons.
