My system crashes whenever login screen is about to come, whenever I start. The system comes to halt and monitor goes into power-safe mode. Though it runs fine when init3 is used to boot.
I am using openSuse10.2 and here is my system configuration
I do not know if I can help you, but I think you could try to gather some more info by pressing Esc during boot and watch what scrolls on the character screen. Especialy the lines before the system stops might be of interest for people reading this thread.
When the screen goes blank, do you get a console when you hit ALT+F1? If you can get a console, either using alt f1 or init 3, then enter sax2 -r and let sax configure your video card.
