dears,

i booted up knoppix and ran memtest for 4 hours (std test), then all
tests for 8 hrs (6 passes), and no error was reported.

i searched log for hdd failure messages as mentioned in a thread from a
few days ago and did not find anything.

my laptop temperature did not exceed the usual level. i haven't had any
issue regarding this yet. (nearly two years)

i wonder what else i could check or what other tests i could run.

any ideas pls ?

martin

ps: i'll try to locate the FAQ mentioned above.
