OK, so here is the speil...trying to put the box to sleep. If so turn off or even remove apm fromDone this already. It is covered in Mandrake errata.
the box and boot with an append of "noapic".
I'm thinking now that it may be a network issue that is causeing the problem rather than a video issue. Cable service in this town sux and is up and down frequently. Although I may be wrong, sometimes trouble on the network seems to coincide with the shutdown.
My server has been locking up on me after an unspecified amount of time.
Sometimes it locks up during a re-install but I think only after the network has been configured. I'ld had some much trouble with it that I took it down and jacked a client system (WinXP) directly into the cable modem. Left it running all night and in the morning, guess what... lockup!
So... 2 different machines and 3 different OS's. Windows XP pro and Linux Mandrake versions 8.2 and 9.0. Also recently had hardware trouble with a 3rd system. What could possibly be causeing this? It is a fairly recent occurance, all 3 machines worked fine all summer with XP and Mandrake 8.2 as the server. I'm out of ideas so I need some brainstorming, guys.
