Try connecting it to a second PC/Laptop and ping it from there (when its stuck). This will tell if the OS is dead or just the UI.
ps. Make sure your not blocking ping requests.
Oh, ok, so it is really powering down! I thought dead as in not responding but still breathing :) This is probably a hardware problem. Power supply maybe? I know this sounds silly, but check the supply plug, at the PC and wall socket. If you have time - boot into your BIOS and leave the machine, see if it still dies. Or boot with install CD/DVD and run memtest until it dies (or not) E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
