Try watch hwclock --show in a console or even watch 'hwclock --show > timefile' And then interrupt after about a minute and check timefile or send it here. Give LILO an <esc> and a (linuxbootname) 3 to come up in console mode. If it is your hardware clock, KDE will go crazy. I have seen it happen when I changed time zones and KDE blanked andf flickered and finally stabilized, but any change in hardware clock seems to trigger problems. Civileme
