Hi: Sorry to be slow acknowledging the replies to my query last week. Too busy. I did run memtest, following a suggestion from Keith Winston, and all the RAM seems to check out OK. Re. overheating, I'll probably wait until the weather gets warmer and see if I have anymore problems. The machine has been up for 8 days so far without any problems. George Marshall Heartley wrote:
It might be a power supply problem. I had my little server do it before because the fan in the power supply went bad and it was overheating.

Hello:
The other day I went to use my computer--an Athlon 700 mhz with 384 mb of RAM, running SuSE 7.3 with kernel 2.4.16. When I moved the mouse to wake up the monitor, which was in power-saving mode, I was greeted by seeing the initial splash screen--the one with the boot option menu. The machine proceeded to reboot. I saw nothing in the boot messages to indicate what might have happened.
This machine had an uptime in excess of 27 days when it rebooted. At the time it happened I was not logged into the graphical interface--KDE 2.2, but did have a setiathome client running in a console user login.
I looked in all the logs and messages in /var/log but found nothing to indicate what might have happened.
Does anybody out there have any suggestions as to what might have happened? Are there additional logs somewhere that I can examine?
Thanks in advance for your help.
George
