We switched from MDK91 to SUSE93 over the past few months.
One of the machines tends to lock up if left unattended too long.
As Jerry Feldman suggests this could be powersaved.
I know "powersaved" is death to my VIA MiniITX box. (9.3 and 10.0)
I assume that it's unsuccessfully trying to slow the CPU clock.

If it's really bad you might have to boot to runlevel 1

But you have to put up with KDE telling you every time you login
how much better life would be if you'd only run powersaved!
AARGH!

No matter how much you pay for software,
you always get less than you hoped.
Unless you pay nothing, then you get more.
