Hi!
Two weeks ago I installed Suse 11 on my laptop. Everything worked fine at the beginning, but now it crashes frequently. I've no clue where to look at to find the problem, so I really need some guidance on that. Here's some information:
- crashes occur without a specific event, sometimes after half an hour uptime, sometimes right after the logon - when it crashes keyboard and mouse doesn't work anymore; the display is either black or frozen - keyboard LEDs do _not_ blink, so I assume it's not a kernel panic - when it crashes, the cpu cooler goes full speed - I didn't mess around with the daemon settings, everything is suse default - KDE session management is disabled - I can't reproduce the error manually - the system runs KDE 3.5, default kernel, everything is updated, all patches installed
I can deliver more information if needed, of course. I'd really appreciate your help.

Have you looked in /var/log/messages for a hint. Also, if it crashes now, how about running Live CD. It is default system before any updates and with simple video driver. It can help you to check /var/log/messages for last entries before crash. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
