Last weekend I experienced problems with my home desktop. It locked up hard. [ ...] the power-supply I'm going to investigate. Before it locked up, it had good voltages though. Anything else ? If it matters, the machine runs suse 10.2, but OS 11.2 is also installed and has the same problems.
Running 10.2 likely the machine is more than 3 years old. That's near the end of a period of several years of motherboards and power supplies manufactured with defective caps. Pop your covers and inspect. I've had good luck replacing just caps, but most people replace the affected motherboard or power supply. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
