[wellylug] Installfest / hardware guru's

Hi Guys,

Just a brief question: I'm having some
grief with a second-hand machine I bought
several weeks ago. When it first arrived it
was spitting the dummy when trying to install
anything, always complaining about DMA errors.

I then ripped it apart and put it back together,
and it was happy for almost 3 weeks. Now it's
starting to do the same stuff over again, and
I just don't have enough spares/bit & pieces to
determine what's actually causing the troubles.
If I brought the box along, could someone give
me a hand with fault-finding?



Cheers,
Andrej
