rebooting or freezing.

- The computer froze again. I was playing
solitare.
- Reconnected the internal DVD,
internal 4TB HD, webcam, scanner.
- Last time I ignored the KVM switch.
This time I removed it. Now the
keyboard, mouse and monitor plug
directly into the motherboard.
- That limits access to the server which is
on the now disabled KVM.
- Swapped out the network cable and
switch ports in the network switch
- Replaced the power cord.
- Again, all that is left is the SSD,
the CPU and the audio out. If it
doesn't freeze again I have to regain
complete access to the server.
- Bet SSD.
- 2014-09-07
- Computer froze. I was restarting Deluge
which had crashed over night.
- The only components left are the
power supply, CPU and SSD.
- Maintanence performed:
- Swapped out power supply with dualCore-32bit.
- Replaced SSD SATA cable.
- Put a few more drops of thermal paste on
the CPU. Now it averages 9 degrees
hotter per core.
- unplugged:
- scanner
- webcam
- internal DVD
- internal 4TB HD
- that leaves:
- SSD
- kvm switch: video, usb mouse and keyboard
- network cable (internet and printer on
the network)
- audio out
- internal headers for the front of the case
(nothing plugged in)
- power cord
- 2014-09-06
- Replaced motherboard. Same brand, same
model.
- Added 16 gigs of ram. Now there is
32GB on the mobo
- I had to pull the heat sink off the CPU.
It averages about 10 degrees hotter
per core than the baselines.
- 2014-08-19
- Windows doesn't work.
- Changed SATA Control Mode back
to IDE.
- 2014-07-19
- Replaced 2TB HDD with 4TB HDD
(Movies1).
- Removed the Sound Blaster Audigy.
Put it in spare equipment.
- BIOS -- Integrated Peripherals --
ICH SATA Control Mode
- changed from IDE to AHCI.
- 2014-07-05
- /etc/apt/sources.list
- uncomment lines 53 & 54:
Canonical's 'partner' repository
- 2014-07-01
- Master plays movie.iso files that eCenter
can't.
- To restore 10.04 to this computer leaves
a hole in the libdvdcss libraries.
- See Setup Logs for eCENTER on
2014-03-07 for clarification.
- 2014-07-01
- Dragon and Kaffine play the DVD "Red 2".
K3b copies it but neither video
program can play the copy. Master
does all this but the video programs
play the copy.
- Copied Master's copy (which it played)
to eCenter. eCenter can NOT play it.
- There is a hole in this computers libdvdcss
libraries.
- 2014-06-30
- The computer froze.
- This all started when I made 3 changes:
- I added 16 Gigs of RAM.
- I upgraded Kubuntu from 10.04 to 12.04.
- I swapped out the HD for an SSD.
- The options are:
- Something on the motherboard or CPU either
failed or was broken at this time.
- The SSD is bad.
- The upgrade 12.04 has holes or conflicts
with something on my system.
- 2014-06-29
- Computer froze. Removed 16 Gigs of RAM.
- The motherboard owners manual states
- Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency.
For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you
obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
- If the RAM isn't the same batch I don't know
how to match CAS latency?
- 2014-06-08
- Made changes to Deluge a week ago. So far it
is still working. I'm going ot call it.

- Computer has locked up 3 times since I upgraded the
OS and added the extra ram on 2014-02-14.
- At boot up the grub menu has an option to check
the ram. With only one OS it doesn't show. To
access it, remark out (#) hidden timeout and
set timeout to a small value:
- /etc/default/grub
- # GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
- GRUB_TIMEOUT=4 (it was 10)
- Then: sudo update-grub
- I ran three complete passes of the ram last night.
There were NO errors.
- 2014-03-07
