I have two Celeron 466mhz CPU's in my Server computer, unfortunately I think one of them died... The problem started when one day I came home from work and my server had locked up. It was running solidy for weeks, but then this hard lock.... So I rebooted it and all worked fine for a while, then it locked again a day later. Then after a reset, maybe a few hours would go by before it'd lock again... So I thought, well maybe the PSU is going bad or something, oh well, I have a few spares....
Well... I opened it up, and in the process I figured I'd air it out... pulled out the ol' can of air and what do you know, the fan on one of my CPU's wasn't moving.. So I replaced the fan on it, and tested it. Well it booted right up as usual, using the SMP kernel, but once again, it locked up after a few hours.
I didn't take the CPU out, but instead I'm running the single CPU kernel and it hasn't locked up since. So would you all say that the CPU is toast? I'm running Mandrake 9.2 on it. It was working fine before in SMP, then when it started crashing I also updated the kernel from the security updates, and still had lock ups, thats when I just decided to run it in single processor mode.
The board is an Abit BP6.
