[Mageia-dev] Strange system stalls - neep a tip

Mon May 21 18:11:19 CEST 2012

Hello All -
+
+I am experiencing a strange problem with a specific machine running
+Cauldron.  I am beginning to believe it is NOT a Mageia problem because
+when I boot into Ubuntu 12.04 the problem exists as well.  I think it
+may be hardware related but I can not find what is causing this issue.
+
+The machine is an Acer Aspire x3900 with a quad core ‎AMD Phenom(tm) II
+X4 925 Processor - 6GB memory.  GeForce GT215 (GeForce 320) card. I am
+running the x86_64 version of Cauldron.
+
+The problem occurs under both KDE and Gnome 
+
+Basically, the system seems to freeze up (mouse moves) but nothing else
+- gkrellem freezes and no errors occur - it just seems to hang - but
+magically wake up again after some time (many seconds at a time)
+
+I have checked various logs and can not find any problems - so I am
+stumped how to find the source of the problem.  I leave the machine
+running 24x7, but don't think it is a thermal issue.
+
+When the system runs under Windows 7 (64bit) it appears to run fine.
+
+Any hints what I could check?
+
