Fedora freezing on me.

[Flipstik]

Ok, so i just installed Fedora core 9 on my computer today, and everything seemed to be working fine for a while, but all of a sudden my screen turned white and i had to restart the computer. This happened two other times now and i don't know why it is happening or what to do. I have a KDE desktop on it and i haven't installed any extra programs or anything on it yet.

 

Any help is appreciated. Thank you! :)

hi what type of computer did you install it on (what hardware has it got) and have you updated fedora yet ? (as root try

Code:

yum -y update

)

I have a 160gb hd, 512mb ram, and an amd athlon 64 processor.

I'm also running windows xp on the same computer. Could that be the problem?

no, running xp on it (dual boot) is not the problem

 

try updating Fedora by doing the following

 

Code:

su -

 

then after entering your root password do

 

Code:

yum -y update

 

updating it will make sure that you have the latest and greatest version of the software (which will rule out any bugs)
