The same thing happens to me (M7.2), but it doesn't take all night to do it. It's very sporadic in my case: it can lock up after 5 minutes of use, after several hours of use, or not lock up at all. The mouse and keyboard are definitly dead... except for Ctrl-Alt-SysReq sequences. Instead of turning off the system at the switch, try Ctrl-Alt-SysReq-B. It saves wear and tear on the on/off switch. Ctrl-Alt-SysReq-O works too :) I've tried everything I can think of to fix it: removed daemons, not run certain programs, see if running certain programs contribute to the lockups, etc. Nor can I find any error messages in the logs. I'm running a Gateway Select, 850MHz AMD, 128MB, so it's not like I'm under powered <grin>. I'm beginning to suspect it's an IRQ conflict of some sort... that or bad RAM -Al On Sunday 15 July 2001 03:10, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, I wonder if anyone has any ideas please: > I have an old Pentium 133 with 32 MB ram with Mandrake 7.2 that seems to > run OK, but when I leave it on running the KDE desktop at night the whole > thing gets stuck with the mouse not moveable and no keys having any effect > - so I have to turn it off at the switch.
