Bob,<br>
I recently experienced some of the problems you are
describing on a new install (unstable system, FC4 install crashing out
at random point in the process). My problem turned out to be
memory that was either bad or just wouldn't play nice with the
MB. <br>
<br>
I would suggest running memtest if you haven't already. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/21/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Michael T. Dean</b> <<a href="mailto:mtdean@thirdcontact.com">mtdean@thirdcontact.com

(or below) compiled without OpenGL support or Myth 0.18-fixes or<br>SVN (which has a runtime setting in frontend settings to disable OpenGL<br>vsync). In a "short" time, though, upgrading to 0.19 will give you this
<br>option (and 0.19 may be ready before your new hard drive arrives...<br>(fingers crossed) ;)<br><br>Mike<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">
