Freezing realities

Hi,

3 Months ago I installed SUSE 10 on my laptop.

Ever since I’m experiencing application freezing, sound problems, computer freezing and inability to reboot unless hit the power button.

Are all of these symptoms typical or there is something wrong with my installation?

Thx,
Dobby

Thats definately not typical. What kind of hardware is in the laptop?

I've heard of people having trouble with freezing caused by the nvidia driver. Check out: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...328#post198328
Also, Suse 10 will hang on systems with not enough RAM (<128MB)...
