Hi all,
I installed 8.0 freq3 on my husband's amd k6-2 450 machine and it runs fine
(if a little sluggish) when being used, but if it sets unattended - kde locks
up so hard that I can't even ctrl+alt+backspace or alt+SysRq+b. I turned off
trying to use screensaver (which didn't work), and moved the sliders to
disable in the power saving, but didn't help. Time isn't consistant, for
example: sometimes it takes 3 hours, sometimes 20 minutes. (I didn't install
any other window managers due to space constraints, so can't see if it would
do it gnome.)
Let's see, he's got: 192 mb ram & ~200 mb swap
some kind of sis chip on unidentified mobo
pci Voodoo2 3000
on-board C-media? sound (I didn't build this thing)
isa creative modemblaster
pci linksys fast ethernet? (uses tulip)
maxtor as hda with /boot, / and /home
seagate as hdb with /usr and /var, all reiserfs
Umm, he was having an overheating problem, but with new fans and leaving the
sides off, it runs consistantly at 52 degrees Celcius now. Windows doesn't
lock up, so I don't <i>think</i> it's the processor, but wanted to include
this anyway for consideration.
Anyone have any suggestions?
TIA,
-s
