It has always happened while I was working at it, that is moving the mouse, never when I leave it playing music or just turned on but not sitting at it. Can it be a mouse driver issue? I have a Genious NetScroll (with wheel) but I have to use it with the Microsoft intellimouse driver (serial) so it detects the wheel. I now believe it is some hardware/driver looping forever but how can I diagnose this?
Thanks for reading all.
I will say that this is almost the exact problem that I have on my machine at home.
I have had a total display lockup about once every two months. The system still works in the background. I am on FC1. As it is happening in FC2, I would suspect it is something that hasnt' changed so it must be related to a different display driver. I was thinking that it was related to disk or drive access as one time it was plugging in a usb stick and another time, when opening some windows.
I have tried to trace it down but havn't had any joy. Did memtest, updated bios etc to try and trace the problem. Not enough information to submit a bug report.
I noticed that others have different video cards so I don't think it is the video driver. Does it only happen in Gnome or KDE? I use Gnome.
