Ack, similar here. A GL screen saver might kick in which is loading your system. That means temperatures are going up, and the good old AMDs are prone to just locking if they get a bit too hot. Try opening the case and re-test. If better, consider a better CPU cooling. (For my dual MP 1900 in a sub-tropical region, only water-cooling helped at the end :-( ). BTW, WIN seems to load the system less (worse scheduler? ;) ). The problem occurs less frequent there. -- HaJo Schatz <hajo@xxxxxxxx> http://www.HaJo.Net PGP-Key: http://www.hajo.net/hajonet/keys/pgpkey_hajo.txt
