679 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
680 "weird" problems:
681
682 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
683 enabled.
684 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
685 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
686 the "no387" option to the kernel
687 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
688 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
689 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
690 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
691 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
692 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
693 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
694 10) install a better fan for the CPU
695 11) exchange RAM chips
696 12) exchange the motherboard.

698 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
699 module will be called apm.
