If it's an overheat problem, you should see an entry in the bios log
about the chip temperature.<br>
<br>
Sounds more like a video card driver issue to me. <br>
Have you checked out the VIA download site(from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://viaembedded.com">http://viaembedded.com</a>)
to see if any of the drivers could help...

Also, check out the VIA Arena forums site... <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.viaarena.com/">http://www.viaarena.com/</a>
to ask questions specific to your board.<br>
<br>
Does /var/log/messages tell you anything?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Often problems like that can result from heating issues. Is the computer
well-ventilated?

I considered that, but the air coming out of the back of the case is
only warm on the power supply side. The fans blowing air out the back
over on the motherboard side of the case are blowing out cool air.
Immediately after I noticed the crash last time I rebooted to the bios
and the 'health page' of the bios showed reasonable values ~30C CPU,
~40C 'system' (not sure where that's reading from). Elsewhere in the
bios, it's got settings for a thermal trigger at 100C!
Maybe the powersupply is getting too hot I guess...I suppose I can test
it with a space heater :-)
Thanks,
Robert
