Date: Mon, 29 Jul 1996 20:09:48 GMT Organization: Europa Communications, Inc, Portland Oregon USA Lines: 25 Message-ID: <4tj5qa$5mk@atheria.europa.com> Reply-To: tysman@europa.com NNTP-Posting-Host: europa110.europa.com X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 Hello, We are running BSD OS ver 2.1 on a p120 with 64 megs of ram and we are experiencing a very unusual problem. When we boot the system, it runs like a champ, for anywhere between 2 to 30 hours, then it boggs down REAL bad, gets really slow, and take FOREVER to change dirs, or do anything else for that matter. Now we are not overloading the system with users, as there are only three of us at this point. We are at a loss here as to where to look to find the trouble, or how to track it down to being a hardware, or software problem. I am pulling my hair out. Of course the two month support period has been over for 5 months now, so I am asking for some suggestions here. BTW we arew not pulling a newsfeed yet either. Has anyone else experienced this, or anything similar, if so how did you correct it? Even suggestions as to where to look, possible cause, anything at all would be GREATLY appreciated. Please email any help you may be able to offer me to either: richg@scnet.net or tysman@europa.com Thank you in advance for any, and all help anyone could offer. Rich Grimek
