May occur within minutes after the boot or after hours. IT sounds more like a hardware problem than a software one. I've seen those exact symptoms many times with overheating CPUs, and sometimes with other defective parts. You could check if the CPU fan is working correctly and is well adjusted to the CPU. If your mainboard allows it, check its temperature (though it's not always very accurate). Other tests would be trying to disable as many options as possible in the BIOS. Since you have everything on the MB, it doesn't seem likely there would be an hardware conflict. > [snip] _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
