The fact that shells crash while idle hints strongly that the blame lies outside Cygwin; if other random apps (particularly the memory hogs like web browsers and email clients) aren't crashing, that points to BLODA rather than bad RAM. I'd also do a virus scan: some malware monitors the process list and kills anything it thinks might be used to detect or attack it; command prompts usually rank high on the hit list. (I'm running 64-bit win7 on a core I5 without troubles for the last 18 months or so) Ryan -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
