or so, even in the middle of working on something, I get a crash. The
computer is still on (i.e. I can still eject the CD-ROM drive, the
power light is on), but my monitor turns off (as if it's gone into
power-saving mode) and no keystrokes or mouse clicks will revive it
(not even Ctrl-Alt-Del).
Maybe a hardware problem? What kind of machine and processor? Are you
doing any kind of over-clocking? Were any other OSs able to run on this
machine?
When this lock up happens, what happens when you do <Ctrl><Alt>F1? How
about <Ctrl><Alt>Backspace?
