just skimmed over this thread and thought I just let you know that I managed to solve some issues with my box crashing under heavier load solved by
1) removing some stupid firewire ohci module
2) using notsc kernel parameter ( http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt#103 ) maybe you have some SMP related timer issues too
hope this helps if not .. well was worth a try _________________ I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it. |

Thanks LordVan,
I'll try #1.
But for #2, is it applicable as well as I have only 1 CPU ?
By the way, the system survived yesterday for 15h of intensive CPU work with Cinelerra video editing.
Then I suspect my blanker problem is back and/or an issu when the network is stressed.

Bad news (for me at least ) : I had to switch my network to 100 Mb but now, even with 3.1.10 kernel, the machine doesn't survive more than 5' as a distcc participant |

My problem is not related to the screen saver but linked with activities running on the machine
It seems CPU load + network load is creating problem, but w/o any log to explore and not way to 100% reproduce, it's difficult to know exactly what is causing the problem |

It seems the problem is solved by putting a missing network driver.
My machine survived days of heavy work under 3.1.10, participating to distcc, and having other stressing network activities w/o trouble.
Since this morning, I upgraded to latest 3.5.7, played video from my network (VLC + uPNP), and doing usual work without a crash.
So it seems I'm back to a normal situation.
It's strange that a missing kernel on a network card that is not used and even not plugged to a network can cause such issues ...
Let see severals additional days ... |

The situation improved a lot : after 2 days of intensive work, I got only 2 hanging.
Each time I was playing music using VLC from an internet streaming, and each time the stream were cut (on daily basis, my internet modem has to re-establish the connection ... French Internet Provider rules).
I'm thinking about a bad management of IRQ cascade ... from the sound chip or from the network, I duno ... |

Pretty much every time I come across a random hanging where *everything* goes dead (i.e., no keyboard, no mouse, screen frozen, no network, etc.), it ends up being power or motherboard (not CPU or ram) related... And frequently due to bad capacitors on the motherboard or PSU...
Note that it may be possible to "work around" the issue but the underlying problem is still there.
Time to get another machine? _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD

Hello,
I did some revert back and ... I duno : I'm probably facing an hardware problem but the kernel version is meaning full as well. I'm back now on 3.1.10 and did days of heavy work, including network stressing distcc campaign w/o a crash.
I'll stay to this kernel version ...
Bye

I wasn't able to compile GIMP using 3.1.10
I degrated to 3.0.35 and I was able to complete all compilations : I'll do further tests for next path campaign and will do some search when I'll be sure I returned to a stable system. |
