How does the system respond if you do not install X?
On second thought, starting in runlevel 3 instead of runlevel 5 would achieve the same thing.
If your system freezes, we know it is not X related. OTOH, if the system does not freeze, we know it is X related.
Further, did you look at the logfiles in the /var/log/ directory? Any signs of problems?
I couldn't interpret
It is enough to distinguish trouble from the usual "noise".
/var/log/messages or Xorg.0.log. /var/log/messages -
Don't forget /var/log/warn
or, rather, saw no messages at the time of the freezes that seemed to refer to anything but internet stuff.
Aha, so at least you had a look. :)

Goodbye 9.2,
Does this mean you give up and do not wish to investigate?
No. It means that I thought that, over the last few weeks, I had exhausted all the possibilities - trying to understand the log files, installing Gkrell, intensive googling, installing with different options and updates, trying out all suggestions given to me and to others, running diagnostic programs on the hardware... .
But tonight people on the list have given me new ideas to try out and I will.
Ok, so it takes you a bit more time to get a well running Linux system. But apart from solving this problem, you might even get a better knowledge of this OS. ;)
Thanks!
You're welcome. Cheers, Leen
