Hi all,
I've been using 9.3 now for a while, but it's unusable, due to random lockups/freezes. The problems started after a clean install of 9.3. The system crashes at completely random times (using KDE as window manager). When the systems freezes, I'm unable to switch to another runlevel, and the music hangs. My Windows XP doesn't show this kind of behaviour, so I think it isn't a problem with hardware. I've installed today Fedora Core 3 with KDE 3.3, but the freezing problem was still there. Is it a problem with the kernel? With KDE? I dunno. I'm now quite desperate, because I absolutely don't now how to tackle this problem!

I had freezes on my AMD box that didn't show up with XP. Turned out it was hardware, memory to be exact. I had to throttle back the memclock timing to DDR333 from DDR400 when I bumped the memory to 1024 from 512. Once I did that, everything stabilized and ran fine.
