To avoid crawling around under the computer desk, I had left the USB cable for the camera connected. Didn't interfere with the operation of 9.1 or XP so I didn't suspect it. Since disconnecting it I have had no problems with 9.2 at all.
I *love* 9.2! Can't find a single bug and it's faster and nicer to look at than 9.1.
After 11 hours the same black screen.
Goodbye 9.2,
That's a shame.. Sounds like hardware. Power supply overheating? Or memory, or even a cpu that the fan isn't working on. I'd bet on power supply though..

Could be a bad fan on the video card, too.
Could be reiserfs also.

Reiserfs?, in that event it could be the PC case also. Run "sensors" to see if there are motherboard/CPU heat problems, but as it is suggested it's only when X is running, perhaps the problem could be the video adapter fan, see if the time to failure varies significantly with the case covers removed. The last time I had a similar problem, I upgraded the CPU fan/heatsink and it's worked without further problems for a number of months now. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
