    I just replaced Win98 with Fedora Core 4 on a friends' computer: AMD
    550, 128MB RAM. Now, he can work for a limited amount of time (between
    20-150 minutes), then the computer gets stuck. Not even the mouse
    works. He can, however, switch to a console with CTR-ALT-F1.

    When restarted, there is no graphical mode, only console. If he lets
    the computer sit for a few hours, he can boot up a graphical screen,
    but after some time the problem reoccurs. Nothing in the computer
    (open case) seems unusually hot, which was my first thought.

    Any ideas on where to look? Thank you.
