Re: etch : system hangs



Hi,

If there is some junk in the screen and the keyboard (Num lock toggle)
is not respoding then the kernel has crashed. This may be because of
variuos reasons. The main probable reason can be memory. Use memcheck in
the CD to check all the memory fully with all permutations and
combinations shown by the memcheck.

Hi,
I am using following configuration as my hardware -:
PIII 700 MHz
128 MB SDRAM
no graphics card

It shows 5080 as free.
I am using debian 4.0 and it's my first time with debian based distro.
I am facing a weird problem. My system either hangs or screen gets
filled with vertical coloerd lines (like thin copper wires).
Previously I thought It was related to gnome so i switched to xfce but
the problem remains. This occures every now or then randomly.
I a not sure whether it's a hardware or software problem and how to
catagorise this problem in either of them. Can anyone please help me
out?

Thanx,
Mridul

The box said "Requires Windows 95, NT, or better", so I installed Linux.
