Comment on Could Linux save my laptop?

One of the first hardware things I check when a system starts getting a bit fucky is the memory. Check out memtestx86. Depending on how beefy your system is, you may have to let it run for a day or so, but it will do a rather thorough series of bitwise checks of your entire memory space, and let you know if there are any hardware faults, and indicate which physical module is the problem. If that gives you any hits (and assuming the RAM is swappable/upgradeable), just swap out your memory with some new ones (I always go with factory-paired modules, unless it’s a system I don’t care much about).
