Hi,
I'm having problems with gcc 3.2.1 (well, and pretty much every gcc I've tried, which have only been 3.x versions) on my a7m266-d dual athlon-mp 1900+ system. I've been getting
intermittent segmentation faults, which I've interpreted to be some kind of hardware problem, but I've had no luck pinning down what it might be. I've run memtest86 2.9
successfully, getting 6 passes and no failures. (memtest86 3.0 wouldn't even run, I've emailed the author about this to try and figure out why.) I've checked my cpu temps, they
seem to be pretty much average for this type of system. My cpu voltage are correct. I'm not using any bios tunings other than turbo mode (but I had the same problems without it.)
I ran burnK7 successfully for a few hours without crashing. I've just upgraded my bios to the most recent version today, which seemed to help the problem a bit, but I still get
segfaults fairly frequently, e.g. I'll get on average a segfault about halfway through a complete make bootstrap of gcc 3.2.1, but I have made it through the whole thing without a
segfault. (Before the bios update I couldn't get all the way through it.) Could someone help me figure out what else the problem might be?
Thanks,
Peter Gavin
