Look under /Utilities/Console and check the system.log, console.log
and the various crashlogs.
Yeah, I didn't see anything there at all (except for the reboot sequence).
The only crash logs I see are in ~/Library/Logs/Crashreporter (nothing there)
and /Library/Logs/panic.log (nothing there either).
Is there something I can turn on to preserve more state across crashes?
Is there something that will make a hard RESET dump part of memory
to disk to preserve as much kernel state as possible, or something?
You call it a "freeze." Does this happen when
It seems to be random; definitely not related to unplugging/drivers.
Which version of OS X are you running?
Latest update of Tiger.
I did see something else funny, last night. The system had been
previously rebooted, was running fine for a while, and I took it
home and plugged it into an external monitor. At some point,
the external screen became corrupted -- an "L"-shaped swatch of
black and some other miscellaneous bits of something where there
should have just been desktop. Changing the desktop background worked.
