There are no messages in /var/log/messages or dmesg. The machine just reboots. 2) xterms go away for no apperent reason (serveral times over the last several days). If there is a core file somewhere, I can't find it. 3) xmms goes away for no apperent reason (twice so far). Up until this week, I have been pretty rock steady. Could this be an indication of a hardware failure? Thanks!
