Subject: One last try; HARD: two separate problems, I think. Freezing screen
and ? random hibernation
This unplanned and unscheduled hibernation continues to occur when the
machine is running a resource intense task for a lengthy period. Any
thoughts would be appreciated.

> 1. When running lengthy process, such a s full system scan w/ NAV , at
some point the screen goes to black and nothing responds; appears to
hibernate. I need to restart. Hibernate is enabled to work with my battery
backup but is set to "never" for frequency. Since the machine is completely
non-responsive is there any way I can tell if it actually is in hibernation?
Either way, any thoughts on how I can prevent this?

freeze up and needs to be rebooted. The cursor locks up and the icon motion
stops. CPU usage is not unusually high when this happens; don't know about
other resources. This is not like some situations where machine appears
sluggish and responds in a herky-jerky fashion (cursor may freeze
momentarily but then starts moving again). Once in a while this freeze
appears to be connected to cursor movement; ok so long as I don't do
anything but when I attempt to move the cursor the system freezes.
