Starting X causes reboot
Ok. I have recently installed Mandriva 2006 on a Dell Optiplex that has been running Mandrake 10.1 for well over a year.
This machine was built early last week and has been running GREAT!
However, something happened last night and when I came into work today the machine had been rebooted and was at the command line login prompt. I figured oh well, and logged in and started up xwindows. The monitor light flashed green to orange and back a couple of times and then the machine rebooted!
I can't start xwindows now. I have looked through the messages and syslog log files and don't see anything odd. Where else should I look to see what the problem is?
And has anyone else had this problem before?
When I left last night, xwindows was running.
