Re: Gnome locks frequently - please read this if you see the same thing

My problem does not seem to manifest itself the same way. I'm going to
enter a new bug. Hopefully someone will be able to solve it but the
answer for me remains: my configuration of hardware, no matter how
configured is EXTREMELY unstable. This is so very disappointing as I
have all very popular name brand hardware.

ASUS A7A266
AMD Athalon 1.4Ghz (266FSB)
512 DDR (Crucial)
SB Live!
GeForce 2 GTS (32MB) - NVidia driver (2314/2313 src RPM's --rebuild'ed)

Kernel 2.4.14 (compiled for i686)
