Kyuso:
I have installed all the updates, and FC3 still crashes once in a while
(about once a day!), when on my system FC2 almost never crashed.
Of course it may be hardware related.
I suspect my NVIDIA video card to create problems, because the current
crashes look very similar to what I experienced one year ago, with bad
NVIDIA drivers. It was quickly fix by installing the lates drivers then.
The problem is that I cannot get get the latest (for kernel 2.6) driver to
install, and I have seen other people experiencing similar problems.
My system is Athlon 2.5, Nvidia FX5200, 512M DRAM.
