praveenmarkandu Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 i am really confused. it now crashes less frequently, when i leave the computer for long periods of time. sometimes when i go to sleep. my laptop is pretty much on 24/7. at first i thought it was a heat problem as i switched of ACPI and Laptop Mode but then i raised the laptop to give it extra airflow.

ianw1974 Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Is the netplugd service enabled? chkconfig --list netplugd if it's got "on" against any of them, this could be causing the link problem, so: service netplugd stop chkconfig netplugd off and then see how it performs. It won't attempt to de-activate the connection now that netplugd is disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GBee Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 The problem is the msec script in the hourly cron folder (/etc/cron.hourly). For some reason, maybe because it's changing switching permissions from underneath a running process it causes regular hard crashes. Deleting the script or maybe even uninstalling msec should stop the crashes. Beware that if you don't uninstall msec the script may be re-installed.
