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 | ||

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. | ||
