I thought at first that the lock ups occurred only with Firefox, but soon discovered that it did not seem to matter whether it was a running program or a couple of times while the screensaver was active. I also attempted to access these computers from another machine with no luck at all. The locked up FC5 computers act as if they are no longer running. Four of these FC5 computers are ASUS mother boards while the other three are dual Athlon MP Tyan motherboards. Only the ASUS motherboards are experiencing the lock up issue at this time. One thing I did discover in all cases was the battery power management settings were set to put the machine in standby after a period of 30min. So far setting this to 'Never' seems to have helped in all cases. I also tried turning off the APIC in the system bios which had no effect on the lock up issue. In all cases the FC5 computer was either sitting idle for a few minutes or I was doing something within one of the application windows I opened, and the display maintained the last graphics displayed at the moment of lock up. I am also curious as to why on two occasions on two different computers I have experienced FC5 logging me out during a long gedit session, (>5min of editing and saving) then it locked up the machine! Is there an auto logout feature beside the 30sec log out warning message that shows when someone accesses the logout button on the menu? If so can that easily be turned off? Someone else who is experiencing the lock up condition should try changing the battery management settings to 'Never' and see if it ends their lock up issues.
