What about FC 7? I have what I think must be a hardware problem, since it has occured under SuSe, Mandrake, Madriva and now FC 5: Screen freeze. The PC blocks out keyboard and mouse, and anything that moved on the screen freezes. I have no clue as to why, or what triggers it, and nobody on this list or the Mandriva newbie list had either. So: Hardware trouble.
That does sound ominous. Do you know why the fuse blew? Perhaps you had some mains trouble at that time, and some damage occured to your computer.
Though it could be co-incidental, and now might be the time to dissassemble the PC, clean out the heatsinks, check that all the plugs and sockets are firm (disconnect and reconnect them), likewise with the daughter cards. If you still have freezing problems with different OSs, then that does point to there being some kind of hardware fault that'll need a replacement to fix.
