I desperately hope it's not RAM. My last system died due to RAM issues - it did mean IT was able to upgrade me to a nice shiny new AMD64 though :-)
I've done RAM tests on this computer about a month ago.. let it memtest86 run over a weekend. No errors. I will drop it into memtest86 again this weekend.
No lockups with any other heavy system loads.
I've done a lot of Google searghing for the ORA-01031 (See ORA-01031.ora-code.com) error.. and lots of people have reported similar problems, but the solutions given haven't worked in my case.
I'd be happy if I could kill the dB completely and setup a new instance. Prob is.. the minute I fire up dbca and click on the SID the computer locks up.
