I'm running 9.3 at present with the KDE desktop (not completely up to date but not straight out of the box). It's installed on an 80gb drive in a home built PC comprising of an AMD 500 KII 3DNow CPU and 3x 128mb PC100 DIMM's. Graphics card is an Nvidia 64mb running on the Nvidia drivers. After about 10 minutes of use I find the screen partially freezing. Not a complete lock up but nearly as good as. I can move the mouse cursor no problem. Try to click on a button anywhere (running software or taskbar) and nothing happens. I've tried leaving it for anything up to another 10 minutes. Everytime I end up having to hard shut down (power switch at the back of the PC). This is new behaviour and does not happen with other distros that I run from time to time such as Ubuntu 5.04 or Zenwalk Linux. I'd run TOP but if I do I wouldn't have any way of actually reading the output (hidden behind whatever I am running). This has happened when I have been running Firefox or Konqueror while going through system settings. I have run Memtest for around 12 hours with no problems being reported. Any ideas? -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Take care.
