For random crashes, look into things like: A buggy screensaver, particularly if you're set up to randomly swap between different screen savers. The CPU cooling is working properly (fans not spinning, or blocked vents). Likewise for graphics card fans, power supply fans, and other case fans. Check that the PSU isn't dying. Granted that's a bit hard to do if you're not into electronics, or don't have another supply to play swapsies with. But, you can often boot up into the BIOS, and find a screen showing what voltages the power supply is feeding to the motherboard. Small fractional differences aren't too much of a problem, such as a 5 volt supply actually being 4.95 volts. But if you see 4.9, or worse, instead, then that's probably cause to be concerned. Likewise for over-voltage. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
