[plug] re: server freezing

[Jon L. Miller]

Hi Andrew,
What I meant was even though the server does not let me in or I cannot
see anything on the screen (because the keyboard has locked) I can hear
it's still on.  At what stage it's at I have no idea. I know I cannot
access anything on it because I can't run phpMyAdmin because you have to
have access to the IP Address.  Cannot ping the server either.

The server is still runs, it just trying to access it via ssh or even from keyboard (as keyboard is locked) prevents me from seeing what is the problem.  Seeing how the keyboard is locked and the monitor shows nothing (goes into a locked state with a blank screen. I at first think it may be hardware related. But unfortunately I'm not sure which component.  When I restart the server everything is fine for the next day.  This server is has the following:
