[ale] OT: media box

[Jim Lynch]

I built a new system using a microatx board and a 2.5" SSD drive.  I 
haven't deployed it yet because it keeps crashing.  It takes a few days, 
maybe a week to die.  I can't see anything in the logs but that's not 
unusual.  Does anyone have any pointers as how to trap the problem?  I'm 
guessing it's a kernel crash.  It's running stock Debian 8, 64 bit, 
kernel 2.6.32.

CPU is a 4 core, Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU  J1900  @ 1.99GHz with 4 Gb 
memory.  I'm running memtest now.

Thanks,
Jim.
