Dig in the direction of the video drivers as suggested. Use the default nv, radeon, whichever video driver and see if stability returns. If its really new hardware, make sure you have all the BIOS and firmware updates that are available installed and keep looking for updates. Solid lockups where SSH gets no response and /var/log/messages has no clues are most often video related. -- Stan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
