Well, when attempting to start up Winblows it crashed with a VXD
error. Going in safe mode reveals 'unreliable XMS memory at location'
blah so I'm pretty sure its the RAM, it's happened to me once before
and it was right the last time. I'm goign to go replace the ram this
weekend, that'll probably fix it.

Apologies for not doing this (as many others suggested) but it
was hard to keep the machine going long enough just to get a telnet
out and paste the oops into an email. Had it not been so frequent and
hosed the system, I would have gone through the steps others mentioned.

I somehow doubt it's the kernel at fault nwo that I look back at it.
2.0.33, 2.035pre1, and 2.1.115pre2 all exhibited teh same behavior.
All of them worked fine before last night. Oh well.

Thanks for the help.
