Hi, My HP620 notebook with SLED 11 SP1 (i586), Gnome 2.28, Kernel 2.6.32.43-0.4-pae freezes while inactive in about 20 minutes. I noticed this first while downloading an rpm in a slow Internet connection. Next it repeated diring inactive mode working without Internet connection. As a result, I see a green SUSE Linux Enterprise Desctop screen with the last lines reports: Master Resource Control^ runlevel 5 has been Welcome to SUSE Linux Enterprise Desctop 11 SP1 (i586) - Kernel 2.6.32.43-0.4-pae (tty1). linux login: A hot restart does not help. The only option to reboot the notebook is to disconnect it from the power and start again. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. ## – LLiner LLiner’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=105778](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=105778) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=446910](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=446910) ---

Probably it occurs because of switching in a suspend or hibernate mode. Go to your power save settings, disable sleep functions and check freeze issue again. ---

You mite have a hardware problem there … you should run a memory test and hard drive test. Also … check your temperatures ! About the power off … you know that even the pc is frozen if you push the POWER BUTTON for 5 - 10 seconds the computer will shut down. No need to pull the plug out 😛 ## – sergiu\_niculas sergiu\_niculas’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=112263](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=112263) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=446910](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=446910) ---

First of all try to update your system the kernel version should be 2.6.32.46-0.3-pae. And it can really be a hardware issue as sergiu\_niculas has suggested - I’ve got the same notebook and no freezes were noticed. ## – AlexDudko AlexDudko’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=100476](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=100476) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=446910](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=446910) ---
