A lot of these sort of problems come back to hardware. If you download the mepis CD there is a memory test on the boot menu. I am assuming that you have checked the logs, the situation I had was a hard disk failure that was issue messages. Mine was a lot more terminal though, crashed the machine. Finally you might want to bounce this to the fedora list for some help. -- Thanks KenF OpenOffice.org developer
