openSUSE 11 with Samba crashes

crazyswede · 17 Jul 2009 at 16:50

I have a machine with openSUSE 11.1 with Samba. This computer is used to store data in the office which people are constantly accessing. I set it up a week ago, but it crashes ones a day. The screen is black most of the time. One time I could see the desktop and move the mouse but now click anything. Access to the Samba shares disappear. Don't know why. Is there somewhere you can get an idea of why it crashes?

Any help will be greatly appreciated as I don't have much experience with linux

I realize that I have not given much information to solve the problem... What I am more hoping for is guidance in how to find the problem. What to look for...

I am using the 64bit version of SUSE. Is this a mistake and should I be using the 32 bit version because 32bit drivers are more mature... a bit like windows 32/64bit?

The crashes seem to happen roughly at the same time. Most of them are around 6pm? :confused:

Sorry for not replying... not been in the office for a few days. I am going to do a new install using a 32bit verson (The other one was a bit rushed). It still seems to crash around the same time... 5:30. There is no more load then than the rest of the day.
