Greetings,
Fresh install of RH9.0 on Epox 8RGA3, Athlon 2700XP, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro,
Western Digital 80 Gb, 512 Gb RAM. If I leave it running any length of time
the screensaver comes on. Hard crash. No keyboard or mouse movement does
anything. Control-alt-backspace or control-alt-f1 or any function key had no
result. Changed from random screensavers to blank screen but it still
crashes. The two keyboard lights beside the numlock flash simultaneously and
I have to hard boot. I need to have RedHat running all the time as I'm
attempting to set up a Vocal server which will run 24/7. I think it is a
problem with the video card and open GL. If a different video card would
make this easier I'm open to suggestions. I have access to a variety of ATI
cards and a Nvidia Geforce3 ti 500. I've googled but haven't found anything
that has helped. Thanks.

Does the BIOS have any power saving shutdown junk enabled that would trash
your server? Like does it go into sleep mode, or shut down hard drive? If
I were you I would consider this as well.
