Random System Failure, Please advise
Hey guys i have a box running cent OS 3.7 linux here are the specs.
Pentium III 550mhz 512 RAM intel 440bx mobo Dlink ethernet 10/100 here is the problem randomly usually over a period of a few days i'll come to log into the system and notice the power LED still on however the screen is black and i cannot SSH or do anything but hold the power button to restart it. I know linux is a very stable OS so i am having a hard time believing that its a software issue. I am more inclined to say its hardware related however i have not been able to track it down. I have disabled most of the power management features i am aware of becuase at first i thought that was the issue. Anyways, any help would be much appreciated thank you. |

Are you running X or just a console? Anything in your logs that maybe related?

You may be running logrotate hourly via cron, which means that the logger will be restarted too.
