Yes I am running the lastest updates. I checked the /var/log/messages and the only thing in there is putting the /dev/sda -a -d sat in the smartd.conf. This I have done so I don't know if this will cure the problem. Probably not but its worth a try anyway. > > > I did a test on the last lock up.

Both the mouse and keyboard are wireless but plug into the PS/2 port. Worked fine on SuSE 8,9 and 10 series but started playing up with 10.3 Works fine under XP too. > > > I've also seen systems show progressive "lock-up" when there's a > run-away process that's consuming swap space to the point where the > kernel begins to be unable launch new processes and eventually pick off > (kill) other processes.
