Linux hang

Asked by addady in Red Hat Linux, Linux Administration, Linux Setup

Tags: , ,

Hi,

I'm running CentOS 4.5 on old PC. Every few days the OS is hang.
When it hang the keyboard leds (Caps Lock, Scroll Lock) are blinking.
I can ping to the machine but nothing else.  /var/log/messages don't show any clue.
The only way out is pressing the reset button.

Before I install Linux on this PC it use to run Windows 2000 without any problem.

How can I find what cause the problem?
