What am i to do???
1) look at the system log (usually /var/log/messages)
This is most likely a hardware problem. Try reseating all of the boards in the box and see if that clears up the problem. Also boot to the bios setup and let it sit there to see if it hangs there as well, this will mean a hardware problem for sure.
2) the suse CDs (and usually the install) comes with a thing called memtest. run the memtest (this can take 24hours if you have much memory and a slow machine) 3) watch the pre-linux bios boot, and see if any warnings occur 4) heat ... If your CPU fan is not spinning the system will overheat and shut itself down (if you're lucky) or fry itself (which means a new CPU, new motherboard &c .. however, since you didn;t mention smoke and a bad smell, it hasn;t fried yet) Currently listening to: ph2004-8-14d2t02 Gerhard, <faliquid@xs4all.nl> == The Acoustic Motorbiker == -- __O Mounting a horse can often be fun =`<, An elephant too; though he weighs half a ton (=)/(=) Even a mouse (though his hole is quite small) But the hedgepod can never be buggered at all.
