    Smile F11 ceases after some time

    hi every one!
    i have been using F10 and before that F8, so after release of F11 i couldn't resist to install. system specifications are:
    Intel Pentium D 2.8 GHz
    RAM 512Mb
    HDD 80Gb
    the only problem is that it ceases and it's unexpected. sometimes i loose my work although it is not of much importance but it is that way.
    for initial few times i hoped it as a bug. but i think it is not.
    i love Fedora i looking forward to use it.
    what could be possible cause?
    please suggest some way out.
    thanks in advance.
    Sorry, it was unintentional.
    You should have told me at least once and i could have fix it.
    thanks for reminding me.

    What exactly is happening when you say
    it ceases and it's unexpected.
    The whole system locks up including the mouse and keyboard? Please be more specific.

    sorry MikeTbob!
    i forgot to mention.
    yes only my mouse is moving all others locks up.
    one thing
    i used "unexpected" because it all happens regardless of any specific application
    or any time duration.
    all i need after it happens is to restart manually using restart button.
    Sorry, it was unintentional.

    Can you press Ctrl+Alt+Del or Ctrl+alt+Backspace to shutdown?
    Do you have the correct video drivers installed for your system?

    output for lspci |grep VGA is

    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
    for
    cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    cat: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory

    i think that because F11 doesn't create it automatically. is it not?
    i created manually by
    Code:
    system-config-display --noui
    it is now:
    # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Default Layout"
    Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    EndSection

    Section "InputDevice"
    # keyboard added by rhpxl
    Identifier "Keyboard0"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105+inet"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"
    EndSection

    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Videocard0"
    Driver "intel"
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "Videocard0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
    Viewport 0 0
    Depth 24
    EndSubSection
    EndSection

    now this is a real problem for me.
    i was desperate to change my monitor frequency and that caused a lot of problems now.
    i created xorg.conf as i said above. in this file i didn't find monitor section so i tried to add this myself. i searched and found something simmilar here:
    http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/sus...frequency.html
    so i added
    Code:
    Section "Monitor"

### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor 1024x768"
### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
HorizSync 31.5 - 57.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
    now my system freezes just before login screen.
    yes i can restart pressing Alt+Ctrl+Delete .
    am i going to loose my data? i have system dual boot with xp.
    please help me.
    my new xorg.conf is:
    [code]# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Default Layout"
    Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    EndSection

    Section "InputDevice"
    # keyboard added by rhpxl
    Identifier "Keyboard0"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105+inet"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"
    EndSection

    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Videocard0"
    Driver "intel"
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "Videocard0"
