I can't believe any userland tool like a navigator could make the whole |
| 23 |
system crash. It's much deeper than that in the system. Again, it's |
| 24 |
likely to be a driver issue. |

You could test your network card by doing a lot of traffic on it (on the |
| 27 |
LAN to give you better chance to catch any issue), X stopped. |
| 28 |
|

Next, you could test X (even mouse and keyboard) by playing some games |
| 30 |
or whatever you don't do usual. |

But at *FIRST* as it looks like you didn't do it yet, you have to |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
_check your logs_. |
