RH AS server restarts every 6-10 hours.

shuja
has anyone experienced server restarts after 6-10 hours of in-activity. We are running Red Hat Advanced server 2. 1 (kernel 2. 4. 9-e25) on intel pentium 4 (x86) box with 2gb ram. Is there any property in the o/s or bios that does this, or something wrong with the o/s.

prettyfifi
All was well for a few hours,including a couple of reboots after a new Mandrake 9. 1 install. Next day,no mouse cursor visible. Moving the mouse does have random effects on the screen. The only change I made earlier was to configure the left mouse button to display a menu.
