GU's "flakyness"

GU has been unstable as hell since I installed the 2nd CPU and until I can get that fixed (only has issues under load) I'll have to go easy on game servers.

Personally, I think the box hates me - either that or loves toying with me.

Anyway - It's a cross I have to bear.

Good luck with that. Somebody seems to have cursed us! :(

Ill blame unseen :D

However thanks OD for getting it back up ;)

Yeah cheers for all your hardwork Dan ;)

Phew Christmas can go ahead now....

edit - On the plus side I didn't have to suffer rec and his 10 new topics a day

can only pick on the guy that rips your head time and time again ?? ;p

did the lights out card work good to help solve this problem ?

Re: The server crashes - you hardware guru's, does this look like a ram issue?

Got this from the MCE log.

Probably, looks like ECC is going nuts. Can you run memtest on the box at all? Pretty sure any new version of memtest has the ability to look for ECC events. Might need to let it run for a while, obviously a little hard on a live server :p

could u run up memtest in a vm and it still tests the ram?
i can imagine not but work investigating.

404 Doodoo Error

Well i had a look around on the linux geek server forums

Non-fatal mce's are usually ecc faults, and *USUALLY* track back
to bad memory, though it can also be overheating cpu, or a problematic cpu,
or rarely the MB could be the fault.

ECC/MCE counts will get worse under load, unless the problem is
really severe you won't see them at idle.

This is about all anyone had to say about it, most say memory is faulty, but can be other things as above

Server time off or is it just me?

seems to be nearly 40 minutes fast :S

Set to adelaide time and all fine - it has been crashing more often BUT has been auto restarting fine - just content to leave it atm until I can get the hardware done.
