I've used Suse since 6.2? and have always been impressed by it's reliability. However, ... A couple weeks ago I did a fresh install of 8.1 (replacing my 8.0) and since then the system freezes up 1-3 times a day. There is no response to keyboard or mouse and I can't telnet in from another computer. The freeze ups appear to be random; for awhile I thought it might be mouse related because it seemed to occur on a mouse selection but since then the system has frozen at least three times w/o mouse activity. About all I can say is it so far has not occured within first hour or two of reboot and I _think_ konqueror is usually running (but then again, I almost always have a browser window open...). I've run YOU several times so presumably I'm running the latest and greatest patches. Can anyone give a suggestion on how to track down problem? So far I've been lucky with no apparent system corruption (been using ReiserFS) but these lockups are getting pretty frustrating. TIA, Patrick
