Hello All - I am experiencing a strange problem with a specific machine running Cauldron. I am beginning to believe it is NOT a Mageia problem because when I boot into Ubuntu 12.04 the problem exists as well. I think it may be hardware related but I can not find what is causing this issue.
The machine is an Acer Aspire x3900 with a quad core AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 925 Processor - 6GB memory. GeForce GT215 (GeForce 320) card. I am running the x86_64 version of Cauldron. The problem occurs under both KDE and Gnome Basically, the system seems to freeze up (mouse moves) but nothing else - gkrellem freezes and no errors occur - it just seems to hang - but magically wake up again after some time (many seconds at a time) I have checked various logs and can not find any problems - so I am stumped how to find the source of the problem. I leave the machine running 24x7, but don't think it is a thermal issue. When the system runs under Windows 7 (64bit) it appears to run fine. Any hints what I could check?
