2 x eSATA combo Connectors
8 x SATA2 3GB/s Connectors
2 x SATA3 6GB/s Connectors
2 x DVI & 1 x HDMI

The machine runs in 64 bit mode, I have two ext. harddrive connected webcam, 2 USB game stick Keybord is the old, now new again mini DIN, mouse is laser wireless.USB. D-link 615 router. 1 ext. HP DVD burner. I use s D-link USB hub( has power supply, but I diddn't add it)

I have Windows 7 Pro 64 installed on C:\ prior to Ubuntu 10.10 Amd64 desktop I used the D.\ for Ubuntu.

The machine get stucked when I am in Linux, all the time,, I use recover, reboot, and some times it runs foe hours, other times it hangs allmost instantly. Then when rebooting the machine somtimes hangs in the start, only showing the CPU status, mostly it goes on but shows 8Gb of ram, I have 12Gb. When showing 8Gb ram it writes recovering lost Dram size, and reboot, up to 3 times at times, or 1 time whatever when it shows 12 Gb of ram in the start of the boot it goes on with no problem. Then it all can start all over cause of a hang up in ubuntu,,,,can be working in any kind of program. I saw it also had a problem logging in (set to aoto login) and reboot in 1 minute aprox.

I am sure I will find the problem,,,but rather sooner than later if you get my drift.

Maybe someone have some suggestion.
All is welcome.

Greetings from Denmark sincerely Jan

Generally 32 bit versions are more stable versions and 10.04.1 LTS is more stable than 10.10. Just a suggestion.

Have you checked for or installed nvidia drivers?

At boot, you must have a menu with Windows/Grub/MemTest86.
As you have RAM issues, could you run the MemTest86.
You can also probably run test from BIOS menu.

Hey hey
Thanks for your interest, I have found it is eather the Ram settings, or the Ram slots.
When I have all 12 Gb, I can boot with out the triple rebooting reboot, but as soon as I enter the program (Ubuntu or Windows) the machine get stucked and goes down. Then in CMOS I can it is the same two slots that's empty. Then I remove two Ram unit, and the machine runs perfect. But in CMOS it is two diffrent slot that is empty, offcause the two I took out.
Se now,,when I boot with all the ram, but it only shows 8 Gb, it also runs perfectly.
So I am certain it is NOT the system either one. Must be the Ram slots, the motherbord, or simpel Ram settings. Now I just have to find out how to do it. I can see in the ram settings that one bank (have 3) has a diffrent Latency Roundtrip no. 63. The other have 60. Should they be the same??
Well anyway I thank you all for your participation.
I WILL find the problem.

At least it wassn't Ubuntu,what I thought in the first place.
