IT sounds more like a hardware problem than a software one. I've seen those exact symptoms many times with overheating CPUs, and sometimes with other defective parts.Hi, I am running Mandrake 9.0 distro and the X server 4.2.1 which came with it. The problem is that, after using X for some time, my system locks up completely. I mean no key combination works. No not even the Magic Sysrq. The only option is a hard reset. The symptoms: 1. Mouse pointer disappears. 2. No common action ( that means, I can't recreate it intentionally. ) 3. Occurs irrespective of GUI. KDE, Gnome all the same. 4. Complete system freeze. 5. May occur within minutes after the boot or after hours.
You could check if the CPU fan is working correctly and is well adjusted to the CPU. If your mainboard allows it, check its temperature (though it's not always very accurate).
Other tests would be trying to disable as many options as possible in the BIOS.
Since you have everything on the MB, it doesn't seem likely there would be an hardware conflict.
