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.
