I checked the system load CPU usage is never over 25 perent and ram is never above 50
percent
When it loacked up nothing will free it up so i have to reboot by hitting the reset
and when it goes to sleep the screen just stays blank
it never did that until I loaded 8.0 and it still does it even with 8.1
I will check the logs and see what I can find
Thanks for your help Greg

Greg,
I think that the USB ports issue as Femme indicated are probably totally
separate to your system clagging out after some idle time. I would
maybe suspect some highly intelligent piece of hardware that goes to
sleep to save energy then decides not to wake up again. Do you notice
disks spinning down - anything like that. How does it look when it
locks up? Is the screen blank? Have you tried the old alt-SysRq-rseiu
routine? Sacrificing virgins? etc.

Greg: Try looking at CPU Usage after a day or two's running. For a GUI tool for
this i use kpm, on the kde menu (at least in my old ML7.1) it is
Applications Monitoring Process Management
You can click on the CPU column to sort by process using most/least cycles. Look
for a process that steadily uses more and more CPU %.
I also had a problem with logrotate that meant that it was filling my
/var/log/mail and /var/log/news with backups of the backups of the backups ad
infinitum. Thousands of files in one directory :o( This was probably fixed in
later versions.

One of the things it does is lock up after it sits for a few days without being
used
Another thing is the task bar in KDE disappears if it has not been rebooted for
awhile
I am thinking it might have some thing to do with my USB ports which do not work
I am too new to Linux I dont know where the log files would be
