What is the issue with the random crashing on openSUSE? I have 3
machines at home and all of them have issues of some sort. I run KDE
3.5 on all of them.

Media PC: Crashes 2-3 minutes into watching a DVD with openSUSE 11.0.
I used to run this same exact system as my primary desktop with
openSUSE 10.3 and never had an issue with it.

Extra PC: This machine if you leave it alone for a while the monitor
indicates it is "sleeping" and I need to reboot it. Again, oS 11.0

New desktop PC: in the past month. after applying the latest updates,
seems to be pretty stable, but OpenOffice crash very frequently. Also
on this PC it's not uncommon for
the keyboard to stop working BUT ctrl+alt+blkspc still work and when
the keyboard stops working reloading x server fixes the issues.

Another co-worker of mine reported the same issues I have on my
"extra" PC on his HP compaq nc6220 laptop. I have an identical machine
running openSUSE 10.3 (I'm afraid to upgrade, not due to these issues
but because I'm afraid to have to do a total reinstall) and it does
not have these issues. On all the machines besides my co-worker's I've
check out all the hardware and everything tests ok. Also running
Windows these machines don't have these problems. It's getting rather
frustrating. I use KDE 3.5 for all machines.
