It just happened again. I have reason to think that Firefox is
responsible, but at present, it's just a guess. (One way I can tell
it's happening is that I have an analog desktop clock running, and don't
maximize windows. As long as the sweep-second hand's moving, I know the
box hasn't froze.)
None of the Magic SysReq keys worked, and I ended up using the reset
button again. After rebooting and logging in, I opened a terminal and
as root ran
tail -f /var/log/messages
to watch what, if anything happened. I then used RightAlt-SysReq-r and
saw the response that the keyboard had been set back to default. Using
s caused an emergency sync, so I know that it works when I'm in X,
something I hadn't tried before. Now we know, it's not just X that
hangs, it's everything. Any suggestions as to how to find out what's
causing this? (If it's lack of RAM, I'm kinda stuck as the mobo's maxed
out and I can't afford an upgrade ATM.)
Stupid question, but have you tried using a different browser than
Firefox like Opera or Chrome?
