Hi, I'm having a problem that has me thoroughly baffled.
Recently the harddrive in my Compaq Presario 2700 died. Well, it hadnt died yet, but it was getting close to it. So i purchased a new HD and decided to just run with SuSe linux 9.1. The HD install was a piece of cake, and the SuSe install was very smooth. However, now is when the problem arises. I can not seem to get the machine to stay on. Sometimes it shuts down before suse screen even pops up, sometimes it died in a 20 minute GNOME session, it will never get past initilaization in KDE. It doesnt matter what window manager i use, or what i do while im in suse, the computer will just shut itself off.
There are a few other problems occuring, however, i think if i could jsut get the damned computer to stay on i can take care of them.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and cross-posted like crazy.
