Hi, So i just finished putting together a new PC AMD K7/Asus MB.
if i leave it alone for some indeterminate amount time, on the order of 1 to 2 hours, it decides to lock up - sort of. The caps lock key is still working, for example, but the monitor doesn't see a signal. A few things that i've checked: 1 set the display shut-off to a few minutes and sat there and watched it shut off the display. Not a problem. 2 suspended it, unsuspended it, and it recovered. that was a shocker. suspend mode and linux have never worked for me. not ever. Regardless i have suspend mode time set to never and i just now changed the display shut-off time to never. Even though i watched it shut-off without a problem I'm still suspicious that it may be the problem (for example, maybe it has to stay in display shut off for a few minutes). A couple of things i would like to do. Is there a way to enable more detailed kernel tracing so i could look at a log file and see if can figure out if there's a particular activity preceding the problem ? One thing that occurs to me as i'm typing this is that I did not try to SSH in and see if things were working - it could simply be a video card driver problem (AMD video card). The odd thing is that it's running 100% reliably when i'm sitting at the computer Any other things I might try to narrow down the problem ? -- Brian
