Dear List,
I have suse 10.3 installed on a hp tx1000 laptop.
I am using KDE.
Ultimately, the system has become very unstable..
It halts completely very frequently. I have observed
this halt while browsing the web (it has happened both
with firefox and the konqueror), but I suppose it can
happen with any program..(?)
That sounds like overheating.
Rendering web pages can be very CPU - intensive.
My laptop's fan runs at a one of three speeds,
depending on CPU temp...and web browsing is the
primary cause of almost all occurances of the fan
going to its highest speed.
The solution involves managing your CPU temp, making
sure that your air inlet is kept both clean and away
from any obstruction (like resting the intake right
on your leg). And get a laptop cooler thing that
plugs into a USB port and keeps a good airflow under
the whole laptop.
