Hi all,

I have been having problems with my system locking to the point where I needed to press the reset button to recycle the box. Well, this happened again and this time things are not working properly after bringing the system back up. I have been able to start networking services and I can start KDE desktop but none of my X applications will run. Now I have several questions:

1) What type of problems could have been created by an improper shutdown of the box?
2) Will reinstalling KDE fix this problem?
3) How do I go about figuring out what is causing my machine to lock up? It is happening frequently (every few days)
   and when I am doing different things. I have not been able to determine a pattern.

Thanks,
Mike
