The whole system just freezes (very randomly). Most of the times it does that in the first minute, after I've logged in with my default user account.
I would believe hardware problem because of this.
But sometimes the computer has been on for 2 days, not doin very much, but running, and then, about 10 seconds after I've started XMMS, it freezes too.
Can be soundcard.
I haven't changed any settings yet, besides installing the (latest) NVIDIA drivers. But with the first installation the drivers that came with SUSE did not work as well.
I have also had freeses since I changed to NVidia. Maybe you have another graphics card to test with?
My system is a - Pentium III 800 with - two soundcards (one from Guillemot, that I deactivated in the configuration because of the lack of driver support and another cheap one that I use for Linux) MAYBE it is because of the soundcards???!?!?!
This is also possible. Can you rip them out, test, install one, test again, install second and more testing.
And it all worked fine with Suse 7.3
New kernel and drivers in 8.0 so maybe you should wait for a newer kernel from SuSE. /Stefan
