X crashes (I think)

Some0ne · 2009-01-19 12:36:34

Hi, I have some problem with my arch, the thing is that it is freezing preatty often, and nothing works, ctrl + alt +F1 and ctrl alt backspace doesn't work, the only thing that is working is pushing the powerbutton and reboot.

The problem started after I came back after Christmas and did a pacman -Syu, didn't see any weird things in the output thou. I have read some other threads about people with problems similar to mine, and tried the most of the tips given to them, I have changed my driver to nv instead of nvidia for example. The crashes came in both fluxbox and KDE, and almost always when I'm scrolling webpages (in both firefox and opera), but the first crash was when I was minimizing a window. I have tried to read the logs after the error, but there isn't anything about firefox or opera after the crashes. But I don't really know what logs I should be looking in, and I need to reboot after the crashes, which make it hard to find. I tried to search after firefox and opera in the logs but didn't find anything.

Don't know what files that is needed to solve it, but I can upload them if you say what ones you need.
Computer specs are:
Amd athlon 64 X2 dual
3 GB ram
Nvidia geforce 7300 GS

Sorry about the lousy english.

Don't think it is that, because I already added this to my xorg:

   
Section "ServerFlags"
     Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

And the error doesn't happen directly at boot, it happen randomly (but often when i use my browser).

Good chance it could be bad RAM. I had to throw two sticks just last month.
Try using a live cd and memtest-ing your RAM. (Mine failed in like a minute)

(Either that or I'm thinking its bad RAM because thats what I want to see )

I also thought it was bad RAM, but i dont have the problem in Windows, and the memtester i did during the night didn't say anything. The computer was up al night and seeding torrents, but when i started to surfing the web it crashed.

could you post output of dmesg and post your xorg.0.log? t

sorry, I'm dumb, of course it wouldn't be useful after a reboot. these logs would only be worthwhile if we could somehow read them after the crash and before the reboot,

Tried to ssh into the computer when it has crashed but it didn't work, started open ssh and all, but it couldn't connect even over network. Bit har to get the logs without reboot arch (cant acces arch partion from windows if I resterted it by pressing the power button).

I think the problem has been solved (but not really how). Did reinstall arch today, used the same setup as last time but it hasn't crashed yet. (=
