Hi!
I'm running FC2 on a PIII 733Mhz with a Powercolor graphic card (powered by an ATI 7500).
After a few (1-2) hours of use, it stops dead for no obvious reason (doing nothing CPU intensive, sometimes just reading a local html page with mozilla).
Everything is freezed, including the mouse. I've reproduced the same problem with another card (a nvidia GeForce 2).
It doesn't seems to happen when I don't run X (that's why I suspected the graphic card...), but I have still not remained for hours on without X, so I don't know for sure.
Does anybody have any hints about what can I try to get some info about this freeze?
Cheers,
Old message but did a search on mtrr because of a response on an X problem related to initial startup of X when computer is freshly booted.
I believe that the search brought up how to set values there. A modified search brings up these leads.

In regards to the other computer that seems to lockup on me w/ X running for about 2 hrs. I left the computer run overnight without X. Then after I did some CLI usage for awhile, I started X and picked the electronics circuit screensaver. It ran without failure for over 3 hours. I left X running overnight, so I will know tomorrow if it is tickled by a certain screensaver.
Good luck, two hours before crashing X is not very practical.
