New SYS, unstable issues - where to turn? (resolved)
This is a "cross-post" from the HARDWARE forum, since the modem is not the issue now, the new system is...
[included post]
Its going back to the store... I spent $40 more than a standard "winmodem" with the promise that this was a "standard" modem. So, tomorrow its going back, and this time an external serial modem is taking its place.
BTW - since installing 3.3, i've started to get crashes, Crash Guard within KDE yells about something causing a crash, and that "something" is sending "signals" to software to have them shutdown - first time is was lib[something]c++ - and all I was doing was viewing the KMenu - nothing running. The next time I was playing Penguin Solitaire, and some service sent a sigsys[something] that signals software/services to abort.
I since blew away 3.3, and went back to 3.2 - but that too is having similar problems. I can be logged in as Root, do anything, or nothing, and the system goes to black screen and causes the user to be logged out, and the LOGIN screen appears - = - I think my new system has some serious problems. Either processor, memory, hard drive, or installed OS issues. Could be on-motherboard issues, or even the motherboard itself....
Oh well, so much for a nice start of the year...
Anyone have any clues as to what could be causing this? I sat and watched the install of 3.3, and many times cloop would report that it was unable to uncompress the files during the "copying files" - on the last, 3.2 install, I watched the "copy" and nothing came across bad, but the same CD did require doing the HDInstall twice, before it read without copy problems. The CD-ROM shows "mild" marks on it, but, the errors in copy are not consistantly happening, either in the same place, or all the time. I am seriously wondering that I have purchased a $600 lemon system.
Any help is EXTREMELY helpful, since I have an unstable system, and dont know where to turn for resolve. i.e. taking it back to the store, where do I start????
Thanks,
Cuddles

Just got another one of those errors: [different program/service, but same problem]
KDE Panel - The KDE Crash Handler
Short Description
The application KDE Panel (kicker) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
What is this?
An application mostly receives the SIGSEGV signal due to a bug in the application. The application was asked to save its documents.
What can I do?
You might want to send a bug report to the author...
This is almost happening on ANY application, and without reason.
Help...
