I have FC3 2.6.11.7. I have been ok for some time, and recentlyI have had this sort of problem with some programs, especially Adobe and java programs sucking up all CPU resources.
my system fails on boot every other boot
the x window starts and fails at hardware check, requiring
poweroff and restart
next boot is ok, but if I use cmdline shutdown or the menu it will
freeze the next boot
the mouse moves but keyboard does not respond
the display freezes during the hardware check
I dont see anything in the messages file
Any ideas where to look for the problem?
TIA

Check what you are starting with X a startup program may be at fault.
You can use top to see wich ones may be at fault ( you will have to be patient it can take a few minutes for top to start).
I can see monitor jitter before X starts; there are lots of new and weird things in my init.d dir, but everything seems to run ok on every other boot.
If I power-off to shutdown I have to recover the ext3 journal, orphaned nodes etc, and then it runs ok
if I reboot or shutdown from the menu or the command line, next boot I get the jitters in the monitor and the x windows freeze; mouse works but kbd doesnt and requires hardware switch to recycle
what to do?
