Thanks for all of the postings/suggestions,
I have looked at the video driver, it is using the RADEON driver, is
there possibly a problem with the generic/oem cards?
I tried running memtest for a few hours, several times.
One thing I have noticed, a couple of the times before the system
shutdown was it started doing a DHCPREQUEST for eth0 (built into the
MB) about once every minute, the last time, it did that for about 12
hours starting at 6pm, and continued until the system shutdown at 2am...
I was on the system until about midnight, but didnt even notice it was
having this issue....
Also, I did get sensors running, and it shows a couple of numbers being
off... below is what sensors currently telling me, The one that seems to
always be out of whack is VCore2... could this be sensors not reporting
correctly or more likely a problem with my power supply? Thanks again
for any suggestions, unfortunatelly, I require this sytem for my daily
work, so its pretty tough for me to debug this very quickly...

Hi all,
I am somewhat at a loss for how to debug this problem.
Basically my system locks up, its a workstation grade Xeon I do
development on, essentially, the screen (in X) freezes, the keyboard
locks, the network locks (it stops responding to ping). The only
visible indicator I get when it freezes is sometimes, I see a 4 or 5
pixel high band of grey/brown that spans the width of the window I am
currently working in.
I dont see anything out of the ordinary that something is wrong, I
can let the system sit for days and it runs fine, but when I start
doing work on it, I start seeing the freezes (it froze up twice in
about 3 hours today). But sometimes I can work several days in a row
without a problem.
I would like any ideas on how to debug this.
Thanks in Advance
chris

Hi, Chris
I've seen this problem myself in FC3, and in Win2K. In each case
the problem was a mismatched video driver. The common factor is the
line across the screen when the system locks up.
