Well it is still crashing on me with centos4, I have changed the memory back to the original memory that i had in there and tried using noapic. i even went as far as going into the bios and turning apic off but it is still crashing on me. i think my only other choice is to downgrade my server to 3.4 and see if that solves the problem. If i dont have troubles then i will positively know it was not hardware. BTW i had found out my upgraded memory did test bad that is why i put the original back in. very frustrated right now.......:-( Steven "On the side of the software box, in the ''System Requirements'' section, it said ''Requires Windows or better''.
