Hi dear linux users,

Perhaps my question can be a stupid one. if so, i am.....sorry.

when i open multiple tabs (say more than four tabs) in my workstation ( intel xeon,suse linux 64 bit), it hangs. Why is it so? i don't find this problem in desktop computers.

Can anybody, please, tell me ?

with hope!

Since it sounds not to be related to one particular program, there is a chance it could be because of bad ram. I would recommend installing and running memtest86 (it should be packaged for open suse). Install it from your package manager, reboot and select memtest86. Let it run for a few hours and see if it reports any errors.

Reboot and select memtest86 from the GRUB menu (ie do not boot into SUSE). If there is no such option in the boot menu, boot into suse and read the memtest86 documentation... IIRC, on suse that would be semewhere like /usr/share/doc/pacakges/memtest86/
