2 First one doesn't count.

4 OK. This thing ran for a while with no problems. I'm downloading a
5 video while I am watching TV. I use Firefox for that because it has
6 that download helper tool and I like it. I couldn't find it for
7 Seamonkey. Anyway, I'm watching TV when I here my puter beep like it
8 does when it is booting up the BIOS. I look over and sure enough, it
9 was rebooting. This is what I am using at the moment:

25 There was a bump in xorg-server so I let it upgrade. I also noticed the
26 nvidia and updated it as well. I don't recall seeing that the last time
27 I looked. Anyway, Could this be xorg, Nvidia, Firefox or something else
28 or a combination of a couple of them? I'm on the latest of everything
29 that is in the tree. I'm thinking about going back to the older xorg,
30 just to test.
31
32 While I am at it, it ran fine before I let it upgrade xorg. Maybe I
33 didn't let it run long enough or something but it never crashed on me.
34
35 Any more thoughts on this mess?
