I have a multi-boot machine using a AMD-K6 processor.
Perhaps , once a week , this processor starts hanging - creating grains
in the middle of the display - seems to be a case of over-heating.With this syndrome ,
the OS (NB : While this happens , I am invariably on Windoze , while the Unixen do not
have any problem with the processor at the same given point of time.The Unixen I am talking about
are Linux , et al. In fact these Unixes seem to rather solve the problem for Windoze ! )
I will tell you what lead me to this conclusion : when Windoze gets a beating from AMD , I re-booted to one or the other of the Unixes , and found them fine. Now when I re-booted to Windoze , after seeing that the Unixes are OK , on 2 occassions , I found that Windoze was OK.
Can somebody please guide me on this grudge that AMD K6 seems to have for Windoze ?
Regards,
Shyam
