G.
Since you mentioned that you heard a clicking sound when the system froze up it sounds like a hard drive problem occurred which could have corrupted a file system. Before re-installing try booting to the rescue system (1st cd/dvd) and run fsck on the primary disk and see if any problems are reported. fsck should fix them unless the disk has gone bad. Hi,
Before doing anything drastic try this: Using PICO or another editor that you like edit /etc/X11/XF86Config, find thie section that has this: Section "Device" BoardName "0x0322" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" Screen 0 and change the "nvidia" to "nv" and try booting again. If one of the last kernel updates from YOU was done then you needed to re-install the nvidia drivers again. It wouldn't hit your sys till the next re-boot.
