Hello list, Sorry that I have not been able to hopefully give more info on this issue. I have used the many great suggestions that the people on this list gave me. But the problems continue. I now know that the problems seem to be with certain programs. To point the finger to the 2 culprits in my case, xscreensaver and crack-attack. I know that these programs crash from time to time. But when they do, it locks my machine down HARD!!! I have to push the power button because I have no control over the machine when it locks down. I cannot even ssh into it! I think that it has something to do with the driver that Nvidia uses. I'm not sure though. Oh well. One more thing, Can I submit a report to SuSE or do I need to (GULP) send it to Nvidia? I would like to have this issue resolved and I'm running low on ideas and unfortunately patience too. Thanks to all who helped out with suggestions.
