Hello,
I am currently have Fedora Core 4 installed on a Dell Dimension XPS T600R desktop and I am experiencing intermitent lockups whenever I have multiple programs open at the same time (for example, Mplayer, Firefox and FreeCell Solitaire). I also have Fedora Core 4 installed on a Dell Inspiron 4000 Laptop and I am having no problems at all with lockups. On the desktop, I have 384 MG of ram installed and I never experienced this problem with previous versions of Fedora (Fedora 2 and 3). Is this a bug and is there a fix for this? Should I report this to Bugzilla? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Peter,
Thanks for the advice. I tried to run this command from the command line, but it states, "command not found" . How do I do this?

But actually, that's not always the easiest way to run it. Instead, boot from an install CD and type 'memtest' at the prompt.

The easiest way to run it under FC4, in my experience, is:
yum install memtest86+ <reboot> <select Memtest86+ from the grub menu>
Under what circumstances is it easier to run it from the install CD?

Well, the general cases are:
1) you're having trouble installing 2) you're having stability issues and would rather not chance it crashing during an rpm db modification.
Note that #2 is probably the case being discussed in this thread.

Boot the CD; at the prompt, type "memtest86".
