Could it be a problem with the motherboard, RAM, processor, power supply? I know I had a problem with my workstation at home (albeit it's a dual processor workstation with several 7200RPM EIDE drives and 10K RPM SCSI drives, 2xVoodoo2 cards, etc.) where it will randomly blank out the screen. I pulled out both Voodoo2 cards the problem has virtually disappeared. I think the problem in my case was that my power supply could not pump out enough power to power everything. Also make sure that everything is seated in correctly and that you don't have any peripherals or equipment running too hot. // Linh Pham // // Proud supporter of FreeBSD and OpenBSD // FreeBSD - http://www.freebsd.org // OpenBSD - http://www.openbsd.org /* "Oregon, n.: Eighty billion gallons of water with no place to go on Saturday night." */ On Tue, 11 Jul 2000, Mike Johnson wrote: > > actually no , ive looked , Ive disabled 'ctrlaltdel' and no one has used > 'su' ive done 'cat /var/log/* | grep reboot' reset halt etc , and ive read > over the logs and nothing looks weird. and the power button doesnt work.
