[TriLUG] Signal 11 with AMD K6

[Al Koscielny]

The signal 11's came back and became more frequent. At times, even xdm 
wouldn't run at times and the machine would occasionally lock up after a 
kernel Oops. I hadn't added any new hardware or software in the week or so 
before the signal 11's.  I tried removing the 3 DIMMS and putting only one at 
a time back in.  I verified all the jumper settings.  The CPU fan was a bit 
dusty so I cleaned it out.  I set up lm_sensors and monitored temperatures 
and voltages with gkrellm.  CPU temperature was usually about 35 C, 
increasing to about 41 C with a fully occupied CPU. 

After replacing the CPU chip with a new K6-2/450, the signal 11's stopped and 
it been up for two days so far without any applications crashing.

Thanks to all who responded for the helpful suggestions.
