CCL: LINUX system problem

 Sent to CCL by: Ulrike Salzner [salzner:+:fen.bilkent.edu.tr]
 Dear all,
 we have one PC that is a real lemon. It made problems after about 7
 months of usage and crashes very often. One thing that happens is that
 after crashing, all the file systems have changed their lables by adding
 a 1. For instance / goes to /1, /usr to /usr1 and so on. Is this some
 kind rescue attempt by LINUX (Fedora Core 3) or by the SATA disk? What
 can be done to restore the file system? I can log in but if I start a
 job it runs for minute or two and then the computer crashes.
 Reinstalling the systems help until the next crash occurs ...
 Can someone give a hint?
 Thanks,
 Ulrike
