I have exactly the same symptoms with my machine. Memtest86 runs 100% for days. I've tried different processors, memory, disk and cdrom drives, video cards, keyboards, mice..not much is left. This only seems to be a problem under Gnome though, it doesn't happen with KDE...except that when trying to set up the proxy settings for Mozilla...then it hangs as soon as I touch the keyboard. I have a four year old DFI MB with a VIA686A chipset and have tried it with both a Duron 800 and a Duron 1300 with the same results. I've also tried virtually every combination of BIOS setting I can imagine. Nothing appears in the logs, and the only way to escape is to reset or restart the PC, after which the disks need recovery. Any ideas? Gordon Larsen ve6gel@xxxxxxx
