Install a gadget to watch cpu temperature. Perhaps it is running high. Would be consistent with the fan going full speed.
I don't think it is running high, because the fan goes fullspeed right when the crash occurs. If the cpu was running hot, the fan would start to make noise much earlier.
Maybe yes, maybe not. You'd better check.
It could be something like detecting to high a temperature, setting the fan on high, then crashing.
Okay, I understand. But how do I check? If the system crashes right after it found out it's running hot, I cannot use a tool to monitor.. Is there a tool which logs the current temperature to a file?

have you tried booting to run level 3 ? init 3 at boot up is this a duel boot machine ?
I've not tried booting to run level 3 so far, don't know why, maybe because I expected the X11 server to be the problem.. I'll try that now. Yes, it is a dual boot machine. Windows XP is running without any problems. That's a reason why I don't believe the system is running hot. kevin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I just tried run level 3. Everything looks fine, but that doesn't mean anything, since the hang up occurs after an hour uptime, sometimes... So I'm still at the beginning. Aren't there some log files which could tell me more? I really have no clue, why this happens. The only thing I can exclude is an hardware error, since there are no problemes with suse 10.3 and windows xp.. Please give me some ideas :) kevin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, sometimes happens that a different system loads more the cpu and it runs hotter. Some software is also responsible to adjust the fan speed, or to lower the cpu frequency, and might not work right. I don't say it is heat, but it could be. I'm sorry, these things are very difficult to determine :-( - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
