Comment:
i am using a special software based on linux for my network, it is installed on a p4-2.4ghz with 1gb RAM on a 80gb harddisk, it is actually a server which runs 24 hrs throughout, it's been running 24hrs throughout from the last 2 years,, now it has started giving me problem which is un detectable it hangs once in a day dont know why, power lights n other light on the motherboard n lancards lit well cpu fan also works that time, i need to press the reset/power button to get it restarted, what can be the issue can anyone help? is it RAM/processor/motherboard/harddisk i have changed thepower supply with a new one but the problem remains, i have tried RAM on other slot too, i have cleaned the processor, motherboard of dust etc. m confused what to do? pls help

"it hangs once in a day dont know why" Does this occur at random times or with some regularity? When you say "hangs" do you mean full or partial lockups? Can you link the lockups to any action going on on the network?

If you can take it down for a while, run a memory test overnight. Any failures at all are unacceptable.

@othehill it hangs randomly n m sure its not due to any network request its just the hardware which is giving problem. @max i already knew this memtest tool actually my software is designed on linux it cant load any software like memtest to check the memory. so i cant do that test even. neway still confused what to replace, processor/ram/motherboard/hardisk

marc Many memory problems are the result of oxidized contacts. This is especially so when the contacts are of two dissimilar metals. Gold plating and zinc plating are common. One is gold color and the othersilver color. Try removing and installing the RAM 3 or 4 times each. That should scrub off any oxidation.
