I have just had exactly the same problem with a new PC I built for my other half, would work (in windows) fine until at some random interval it would just freeze rock solid. Suspected heat, memory, gfx card, etc (after 3 days) it turned out the be the PSU only providing just enough juice and a small fluctuation was enough to kill it. This is of course no help to you on a laptop :| One easy way to rule out over-heating, install povray and leave it rendering something overnight (at a command prompt, not in X), its still up in the morning.... (btw, doesn't have to be pov, anything that pegs the cpu at 100% for hours on end will do - but with pov you get a pretty picture at the end of it) Rick Kitty5 NewMedia http://Kitty5.com POV-Ray News & Resources http://Povray.co.uk TEL : +44 (01270) 501101 - ICQ : 15776037 PGP Public Key http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x231E1CEA -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
