Hi everyone. I'm running Fedora 4 on a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop and since I've upgraded to Fedora 4 my system will crash after it has been running for 15 minutes to 1.5 hours. Usually I hear a number of system beeps that are a few minutes apart before the whole system crashes. dmesg shows the errors below.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've run memtest and my RAM appears to be fine. Has anyone seen a problem like this before? What might I do to better diagnose and fix the problem?

I would investigate this...
