I have a problem with my frontend system. It has recently started scrambling the display and locking up, sort of.<br><br>If I have an ssh session open from the backend, it may or may not be responsive, but opening a new window and pinging or attempting to start a new ssh connection times out.
<br><br>The onset of symptoms is delayed if I leave the cover off or crank up the cooling fans, so I suspect a thermal related problem. Once the symptoms appear, it won't respond to the attached PS/2 keyboard or mouse and hitting the reset button will make it start rebooting, but it will lock up before I get to the grub kernel selection dialog. Typically, the hard drive activity light won't indicate any activity, although I can hear the DVD drive checking for media. Powering down doesn't help unless the system is left off for more than a few seconds, again suggesting a thermal problem.
<br><br>I plan on reviewing the logs in /var/logs tonight when I get home (it was too late to start that kind of activity when the system did this again last night).<br><br>If I can monitor the output of lm_sensors (which I had already configured some time ago) tonight, I may do that, too.
