Anything is worth a try at this point I suppose and watch batteries are easy enough to find.

Done this already.  It is covered in Mandrake errata.
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.
OK, so here is the speil...

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.


Maybe the cmos battery needs to be replaced. Solved my problem when I had the same situation that you are having now.
