The computer crashes for reasons I can't explain. Since 5.2 was out, I installed it, and the problems are still consistent. The problem is that the computer is crashing (freezing or suddenly rebooting). The problem occurs on both 5.1 and 5.2. - In console vga text mode, the computer did not ever crash, and I was available to 'make install' via ssh from my home a big variety of different programs, - When I launch X, the problems comes, what ever window manager I used, namely WindowMaker and KDE 3. - Crash can occurs when moving a window, launching an application, clicking on a link in a web browser, - The computer is stable running with X if I don't do anything with the GUI. I can still use ssh to administrate from my home flawlessly. - Crashes are very likely to freeze the computer or to make it reboot suddenly. Sometimes it will just crash X, - Sometimes when X crash, I can see that KDE did catch a "Bad drawable" error (this is all the local machine, no distributed X), - Sometimes when moving windows, I can see small horizontal lines as if the screen was not refreshed well, - I was thinking that it did come from the kernel modules, so I tried : - with or without acpi.ko (in 5.1 since acpi won't run on 5.2 on this computer now) didn't change, - with various X card driver, namely 'vesa', 'nv' and 'nvidia' from the ports, didn't change - I didn't enable sound kernel module for now - Enabling nvidia.ko in loader.conf always stall computer startup after keyboard probe (did not try on 5.2) - I don't use the onchip network controller (not supported in 5.1), and did bought a network controller running with sis, flawlessly. I must admit I'm completely lost with that problem, since I have the same computer at home, but my mother's computer was bought 1 year later after mine. I don't know from where to start, (hardware test, bios params, bios revision, nforce2 motherboard support) since it seems I can't find panic log (and I don't know if they exist anyway). Googling and searching list archive did not give me more informations. Any advice will be greatly apreciated. Many thanks, Below is my latest dmesg : Copyright (c) 1992-2004 The FreeBSD Project.
