no I don't think so bill this machine gets blown out very regularly and there is minimal dust. It's not near any machines either. It's across the aisle from the bridgeport.

just trying to guess as to why you would get intermittent RAM failures. Heat is a major factor

I just talked with him again he spent quite a bit of time on it last nite and said the registry is hosed seriously. He's going to make the d drive the new c drive and load the os on there so i'm going to have to reload the whole frickin thing

can you feel me beating my head on the floor?

do you have ecc ram?

speak english :hee:

man I'm just running around with this ssl thing. Guy sends me 2 csr for the certs and I send them to registrar. I get the new ssl back about 10 minutes later and uploaded to the server thru the plesk panel. Registrar directions for plesk 7 (mine is plesk8) said that to finish the install I had to restart the "apache service" which I don't have on there. It was still saying that the cert was from swsoft until yesterday when he puts a trouble ticket in with the webhost people. Now it comes back and tells me the certificate s/n is a duplicate of another and is no good. Email to the registrar hasn't been answered in 15 hours. Got any ideas?

Shop computer being picked up today. Problem was all software the machine worked fine on another drive...so he swapped the c/d drive and reloaded windows and I got to rebuild machine today. At least the data files are still there.

getting closer. Man what a frickin disaster. One guy needs to do this, nuther guy sets it up and screws something else up in the meantime.

Think of all the valuable knowledge you've acquired.
Next time it will take you 10 min to do it all.

Good you got the hardware guy on the shop machine, that thng needs a serious scrubbing

ECC ram is error correcting ram, so if you have a bit failure in RAM it's recovered automagically. Make sure you get the good stuff not the cheep stuff installed.

No seagates either.

and if you had the symantec backup you'd be all set.

yea no kidding.

If I generate a csr for a ssl cert and send it to the registrar and they send me back a new cert (which I paid for new certs AGAIN) how can it come back as expired on the normal exp last July?

That is really a good question. I don't know that answer.
It should be for future use, that's what mine are.
