X randomly crashing at the boot of system.

When i open the pc X randomly crashes, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does not work, Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not bring me into a terminal, and manually rebooting is the only way to get out of it. I must repeat the process several times until it crashes more. When it stabilizes, when the PC is turned on not more crashes.

Re: X randomly crashing at the boot of system.

Help ( ??? ) on its' way

Is this a new install ?

My stock answer to problems of this nature is to examine the log files
in "/var/log/" to see if they can shed any light on what's going on.

Secondly, when setting up X, I always run:

# X -configure

Then copy [ you can test it first, following the instructions on screen ] the
xorg file to /etc/X11/ and renaming it xorg.conf. Then I run:

# nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite

to let nvidia put its' two-penny worth in. I then adjust /etc/inittab to start
in X; make sure to edit the line to 'kdm' to read "/usr/bin/kdm".

Reboot, see how it goes. Any problems, check the log files and let us know.
