F20 + Old but unused hardware continually core dumps

[Philip Rhoades]

People,

I have been trying to build a usable PC out of old - but previously 
unused hardware (motherboards, CPUs, RAM, 80GB Seagate disks, power 
supplies) - but whatever combination I use I continually get core dumps 
- I have reinstalled on numerous occasions and sometimes the PC works 
for hours without a problem and then fails - but quite frequently it 
fails on bootup!  I have tried with 2G RAM but that had problems so I 
went back to 1G thinking that one SIMM might be faulty but no 
combination works for any reasonable length of time.

I can't do screen captures of course but I have taken a photo of the 
most recent crash and I can see:

- at 21s:

I can put this 2.3M photo somewhere if it is of use for anyone to look 
at?  Any ideas what the problem(s) might be?  It sort of looks like a 
RAM problem to me but ALL the SIMMS can't be faulty . .

Thanks,

Phil.
