Try, e.g. Ubunutu 7.04, from a live CD. A few more things to try.... Try using different applications. Use Konqueror instead of Firefox, etc. Run memtest86 overnight. If that locks up, you probably have a motherboard or RAM problem. Set up an SSH log-in for the system, and have that running. Then when the display locks up, if the system is still active, it's probably a video driver issue. top, ps, /var/log/messages and other tools may give you some hints. Then, can you gracefully shut X down? From what I see here, I think filing a bug is premature. You don't yet know the component to file against, and without a definite cause a bug report is not very useful. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
