Last few days I have been confronted with a weird behavior of my SUSE 10.3 system. Several time a day all of the sudden it freezes. Then I have to reboot and it goes on for some time. I do not know what the reason is. There were several automatic updates last days ??
Try disabling any compiz 3D effects. What graphics card do you use? Does the system log (/var/log/messages) contain anything related right before the crash? Do any LEDs on the keyboard blink?

Hi,
My graphic card is Radeon 9600 and Yes, 3D is enabled. In /var/log/message there is nothing. No LED is blinking, mouse cursor stops , gkrellm is like a photo - nothing is moving. I will follow your advice and will disable 3D. Will report back if there will be any improvement.
I was having a similar problem with 10.2 and an Nvidia graphics card - the driver that came default was glitchy, and my system would lock hardcore within five minutes (usually within a minute or two) of booting, non-fail.
I was able to correct this by downloading a driver direct from Nvidia - there may be a similar option from ATI.
Hi, there is another post, on page one, about system freezes. I am having the same problem. Mine is not a 3D card (SuSE automatically disabled 3D software). Colin
trying all advises I found here and on the web, but all in vain. My comp freezes randomly-when I am surfing the web or just doing nothing. I disabled ACPI in my bios but only to stop booting into SUSE. Yes, it stops right before entering into terminal window. Has somebody find a real working solution for that or is this the bug in suse 10.3??
Hi riba43. I gave up. I put APM back to "enabled" and PNP Aware (Plug and Play) to "no" and installed 10.3 as "new" over top of my old system and haven't had a crash since. My conclusion is that the "upgrade" failed to configure properly. Colin
