Can anyone help me? Please?

I got a different error now...

EDIT!

I reinstalled and now I get this error:

My computer specs are:

AMD Athlon 3500+
1024 Corsair RAM
ASUS A8N-SLI Board
2x 6800xt in SLi
Western Digital SATA II 80gb

EDIT2!

Alright after some tests this is what I have come up with...

At the begining of my test before I excuted ./toolchain.sh I had 829mb of free ram. After when I was stoped by that error above I had 309mb of ram... Im sure this has a connection with the resoure temporially unavaible error Im getting. Now how to fix it...

Alright I ran another test.

Only processes open is Aim.

I started with 729mb of ram, when I got that error I had 166. It stayed that way until I restarted. It also did this on my first test. But I didnt lose as much ram.

Your problem is either a defective RAM or CPU, it's surely a hardware problem.

Use CPU or RAM benchmarks (like memtest) to see whether your PC crashes.

Well it only happens when I run the ./toolchain.sh script. ONLY. I ran that benchmark Memtest. I had no errors and no crashes... So I dont think its my hardware.

I had this problem (script which planted has a random place) and it was because my CPU did not enough voltage.

Compilation uses much the CPU, try to decrease the frequency of the CPU, i think seriously that it's a hardware problem.

well its at standard 2.2ghz. Ill decrease it to 2.0ghz. Ill see if it works.

Do you have a reasonable amount of virtual memory configured? Sounds like you might be running out of RAM, so you could increase the size of your swapfile.

Also, I'm not sure if Cygwin has the concept of ulimit, but you could just be running out of allowed processes.

Well I have a gig of ram... I dont know how much is physical and how much is virtual. Where would my swapfile be? Its not resonable if cygwin eats up 650mb of my ram

I've edited the topic title to be more descriptive.

This is definately a Cygwin problem, most likely related to heat issues or faulty ram. Perhaps you would have some luck asking on a forum more oriented towards fixing problems with Cygwin?

Alright My Paging File Size is 1536 - 3072.
