Sometimes (too often) I am working on my Mandrake 8.1 machine and suddenly everything grinds to a halt making me have to do a cold boot. This is quite annoying and has the potential to corrupt data and losing information I am working on. This happens sometimes when using Mozilla, or anything that is too processor or memory intensive. I tried this morning to open a Compressed G4 multipage tif file in ee and it did it. I somehow got it back, I can't get to a virtual terminal by ALT F2, neither can I ALT Backspace, CTRL ALT DEL, ALT F4 or anything. Keystrokes don't register. The mouse sometimes moves slowly. I was logged in from another machine via ssh and that isn't responding either.
Anything I can do to stop this happening, I installed a monitor but it is practically useless :p TIA Chris -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
