The ABINIT Users Mailing List ( CLOSED )

["Anglade Pierre-Matthieu" <anglade@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I think this kind of error is likely due to your computer (either the
hardware or the operating system). It may be triggered by your heavy
Abinit run but there is almost no way a process should be able to
generate a bad page state.
- You can run memtest86 to check your computer's memory (you can find
it on most linux distributions' livecd);
- you should check the harddrive on which you use space (try to check
the Hard drive SMART state with smartmontools);
- try to use abinit without swapping  which is anyway not recommended;
-  try to run your Abinit case from an other operating system (try for
instance a liveCD (again)).

regards

PMA
