I hope this was'nt said a few mails before.
I had a lot of crashes during the last weeks. As i changed hardware and
upgraded to Mandrake 8.2
i was not shure what made the diffrerence for crashing so often. Second
thing i s that these crashes
seem to apear more often on Prosieben.
At the moment i am cooling the cards with a small fan and since then i
don't have any problems any more ...
