Hi there.

I am usually very happy with Mandrake products. I bought my first boxset
with version 8.0 and have been quite happy ever since. I was going to order
a 10.0 powerpack very soon... but only if I can solve this problem.

I recently installed 10.0CE. It's quite awesome except that it wipes out my
system every three days or so... and I am back at square one. I also can't
find any updates other than SQUID - I know this has something to dow ith
cooker branches but I can't find that written anywhere.

MORE ABOUT MY PC AND ITS PROBLEM:

System specs: AMD Duron 950, 512MB SDRAM, 64MB NVIDIA GeForce2MX, 40GB
Seagate HDD and so on... it's nothing special.

It doesnt matter if I have or havent installed the NVIDIA drivers: at some
point, usually three days after the install the machine locks up whilst
booting: X loads but halts at a plain blue screen; if I go Ctrl+Alt+F1 the
first console allows me to log in as user or root but does not allow me to
reboot or halt the PC: and Ctrl+Alt+F12 shows a blank black screen.

The machine has stopped responding and does not work at all. It needs to be
hard reset which somehow destroys my install and forces me to reinstall MDK
10.0CE all over again. Has anyone solved this problem? What do I need to
do? 

Please post on this board and if possible - reply to me via email... I am
presently trapped on dialup and hence havent managed to find the update
sources... where are they? will they help me?

Thanks
