Dear List,
I have suse 10.3 installed on a hp tx1000 laptop. I am using KDE.
Ultimately, the system has become very unstable.. It halts completely very frequently. I have observed this halt while browsing the web (it has happened both with firefox and the konqueror), but I suppose it can happen with any program..(?)
That sounds like overheating. Rendering web pages can be very CPU - intensive. My laptop's fan runs at a one of three speeds, depending on CPU temp...and web browsing is the primary cause of almost all occurances of the fan going to its highest speed. The solution involves managing your CPU temp, making sure that your air inlet is kept both clean and away from any obstruction (like resting the intake right on your leg). And get a laptop cooler thing that plugs into a USB port and keeps a good airflow under the whole laptop. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
