    Hard to tell what went wrong without further info. Can you go to a console
    and log on as root, run top and see what processes are running? Did you
    look into your various log files under /var/log for clues? How much swap
    did you assign and how much memory does the box have? Perhaps you are
    running out of memory or you have a bad memory stick? Running too many
    apps and having too little memory used to be a problem for me on my laptop
    with SuSE 8.2 on my laptop.
    As far as problems with X are concerned, you might want to set your
    default runlevel after booting to 3 rather than 5 as that makes it easier
    to trouble-shoot a misconfigured X environment. From a regular virtual
    console you can of course run sax2 to reconfigure your X set-up. You could
    also log in to the box from your other RH boxes and invoked yast2 to
    reconfigure things, or use regular yast from the console.

    Best regards and good luck, Alex.
