Hello all, Lately I've experienced frequent lockups of my SuSE 9.1 installation during high CPU/disk activity (ripping a DVD to avi or compiling a large program will do the trick). The system will freeze, output to the monitor disabled, and the HD and CD-ROM LED will be burning constantly. I've already replaced the power supply (now using a 480W Tagan), and added an extra fan, but that didn't help too much. I've also run a memory check already: all clean. The CPU temperature after direct reboot is 52C, and the system temperature is measured at around 34C. Could overheating of a HD or CD-ROM player cause such lockups? Is there another explanation or a way for me to locate the problem? Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
