Nils thanks,
I'm investigating the system further and I assume a video problem may be 
the culprit because when I us a Life-CD (from an USB stick) it sometimes 
inexplicably stops (2 times when displaying a screen-saver) and the only 
remedy is to restart.
The video is an old NVIDA GEForce4 MX and just as I'm doing other things 
the screensaver hangs and the only thing I can do a hard restart.
I think I'll clean that card it's in the system for > 4 years.
