I had Windows XP running on it for more than a year without any apparent problems. I put a new hard drive in the box and tried Fedora 13 and now Fedora 12. It seems to freeze at random or panic. I suspect hardware or a driver. I've been pulling cards, but it seems to happen regardless of what combination I have in the box. I've tried Gnome, KDE, and now init 3, but it seems to happen with the same frequency.

I've looked for these type of messages in the message log and the /var/log directory, but haven't found them. I don't see any indications of why it freezes in the message log when it does. I looked for core files in a few places but found none. > > > > I doubt I've given enough info to pinpoint the source of the problem. So my questions revolve around how to troubleshoot this problem. Where would I look for usable information? What experiments could I try that might point to the source of the problem? Would a core file help? If so, how do I get the system to generate one?

That was intended to be one of my questions. How do I capture the panic output? When it just freezes, how do I find info on why? Yes, I tried Fedora 13 first. When I ran into the problems, I tried Fedora 12. When I experienced the same freezes and panics, I decided it was not version specific. Thanks. Please keep the questions coming.
