system update with yum produces sgmentation fault

[parta]

Hi

I installed FC5 from cds and then ran 'yum update' to update my system.
After system update, my system has become unstable. Appliations start giving
segmentation fault after running a while. If i restart my system, they run
again perfectly for a while and then segmentation fault pops up. Is there a
way to figure out which package has made my system unstable.

Might want to run a memtest or if you machine is overclocked, you might
want to try it at the regular speed.

 Just to add to the other replies you've already had ...

 This could (possibly) be partly the result of an inadequate or failing power 
supply. I had very similar symptoms with my system a couple of years ago, 
where the machine would seem to run fine with one memory stick but fall over 
rapidly with two installed. memtest with either stick in alone showed no 
errors, but installing both would cause problems quickly. Replacing the power 
supply restored sanity immediately.
