Success at Last!!!

    I finally have EMC running and Linux isn't crashing or locking up on my
machine.  It was getting very frustrating to be 10 min. into machining a
part and have Linux freeze up or the XServer unload on its own.  I tried
trading out the Video card and the DRAM. But still had lockups. I switched
from xemc to TkEmc and the lockups got worse and I started getting Signal 11
errors.  On a lark I tried disabling all the internal and external caching
in the Bios, and changed the refresh timing by disabling the  AUTO DETECT
and setting the speed fixed at NORMAL.  The machine ran for close to an hour
last night with out a single hiccup.  The only draw back is the machine is
running much slower with the all the cache disabled.   So now my step is to
start turning on some of the cache and see if it's still stable.
