So the machine hangs after sitting for some period of time? Have you looked through all the log files? /var/log/messages? Can you determine exactly what time the machine hangs/crashes? You may want to put a cron job in which writes to a log file once a minute if you have trouble determining what time the machine crashes. What is the temperature of the system like? (Have seen a heat problem on one box I had which would raise just enough when the AC would cut off at night to cause the box to crash) (old story from somewhere, big computer center and one of the minicomputers kept crashing each week in the evenings. By the time the admin got there the system was back on line. After several weeks of this the admin stayed late to try and figure out what was happening. As it got closer to the time of the weekly crash the cleaning people came in and went into the computer room. Shortly after that the system crashed. The admin ran into the computer room to see the cleaning people vacuuming. As the admin started looking over the machine to see what was wrong the vacuuming stopped and the cleaning person unplugged the vacuum and plugged the minicomputer back in which started to reboot.) -- Scot L.
