FC3 system freezes for no apparent reason.
Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:16:37 EST
Description of problem: I upgraded my machine, which has been running Red Hat 9.0 for two years without any problems, to Fedora Core 3. In the past month, the machine froze up three times. When that happened, the power was on, but the display was dark, keyboard did not respond to Ctrl-Alt-Del or anything else, and the machine didn't respond to ping. The /var/log/messages did not have any error messages around the freeze up time. I am frastrated and don't know what to do next, because I haven't noticed any pattern. The machine is running samba, cups, postfix, and some backup scripts via cron. Last time it froze up in the middle of the night when nothing was happening. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.10 1.760_FC3 How reproducible: Happens every two weeks or so. Steps to Reproduce: 1. leave my machine running. Actual results: Machine freezes, and has to be manually rebooted. Expected results: Machine is running forever. Additional info: As requested.
