I had the very same thing occur once with my Shuttle HOT433 486/PCI board with a Adaptec 2940 it would run fine then out of nowhere I'd get weird errors like GPF fault, Segmentation fault and the horror you described. I replaced the PCI SCSI with a ISA SCSI and my problems went away. BTW what CPU are you running? I've got a AMD-133 in mine. regards, H.Cross hcross@ix.netcom.com
