This is a long-shot but the last time I had the same problem it turned out that there had developed a loose connection with the heat-sink and processor on the motherboard. As a result, the processor used to over-heat in about every 3 minutes or so, the watchdogs would come into picture and cause the machine to hang or reboot.... usually reboot. Just give a quick check on your hardware before probing into the software side. -- Raseel. http://osd.byethost8.com http://raseel.livejournal.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
