For giggles I decided to reinstall 9.2, it froze up completely Twice during the installation. I guess I was lucky the first time around. I have no other way around it. It's not even stable long enough for me to attempt to fix it. Thanks anyway...

Fine fine, I'll use Win2k then. Problem solved. Before I bought this system I was told it would be ok for Mandrake 9.2... ok for crashing I suppose. You can see why I'm disappointed.

No real solution yet? I already posted my specs in my first post in the thread. I also said it is a total lockup; mouse or keyboard does not respond. I now know that the freezing has nothing to do with Firebird, it freezes randomly no matter what I am doing. It has effectively prevented me from using the OS I purchased. I have no use for an OS that crashes more frequently than WinME. I am not sure if the freeze happens while using something other than KDE, I just do not feel like waiting around until it crashes. How pathetic is that? Thanks anyway... a shame there's no fix.

I'm disappointed there's no fix yet. I can stay with Win2k though, it never crashes...

Same thing as the thread's author. I freeze while using FireFox (0.8). It could be when I'm actively surfing or just letting it idle AMD 2600+ 512 DDR Chaintech 7NJL3, onboard NIC GeForce FX5200 128mb graphics card MDK 9.2, under KDE... whatever version it came with on CD... ;-)
