It's a bit hard with a laptop but there are some things you can do. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
1) Does it freeze under no load? Just boot it and wait. don't log in, etc. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
2) Does it only boot once logged in? What's running? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
3) From another machine can you ssh in and then watch from there? Is |
| 16 |
the laptop dead or is it just not responding to its own keyboard? If |
| 17 |
it's still alive what's in the log files? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Probably there are lots more things to do but these are the sort of |
| 20 |
things I'd try first. |
| 21 |

Good luck, |
