It's annoying when you load up M$ and it works, but at least you know the hardware's ok. Are you using a fairly new kernel? I suspect something fairly low-level is going wrong because your system is crashing - I would hope that your system wouldn't be brought down if it was a higher level problem. In view of that, I'd have a look at the bug lists for entries against the kernel and sane versions you are using. I don't know the url off-hand, but you can get to it via debian.org - I checked it once for something and started there. LeeE
