Created attachment 3826 [details] Ouput of 27 april In this case i had not only a freeze but also the extinction of the monitor. So the graphics card stopped working too.
Since 2 days i pulled out the cover of the pc and i cleaned the dust with the aspirator. Since then, i cannot reproduce the freeze, and before the cleaning it was present every day! FIXED: Cleanup. :)

David could you have a look if you find some time ? If you remember i had this type of problem before: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6285 and i have a new issue with this pc: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9746 Maybe i need to change a part of the hardware ?
Since two days i dont have the issue anymore (without any modification from my part) If it comes back again i will reopen the report
Status: REOPENED => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => WORKSFORME
It is back :( I noticed that sometimes, on the first boot and if there is no freeze, when i enter in kde, the system is not freezed i can move the mouse, the plasma responds etc, but i cannot launch eg konqueror. Then, i open the terminal and i don't have prompt at all.
Status: RESOLVED => REOPENEDResolution: WORKSFORME => (none)
I installed Mageia 3 , i have the same problem The most of the times freezes when entering to the DE, KDE or icewm I think that when the freeze happened this morning, i heard a clic (like a relay) from the hard disc may be, like it was turned off
Version: 2 => 3
I tried without acpi without succes. Now, when i have the freeze it happens just before enter to the desktop enviroment The keyboard shortcuts are working, i press ctrl+alt+f2 and i am in a login prompt. I try to login but after put my password i see messages like the output of the dmesg command. There are messages about nvrm driver dont support in console mode, something like this, i dont know how to find them after in my system.
I found the messages, in the file:/var/log/messages : May 22 17:40:48 localhost kernel: NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console May 22 17:40:48 localhost kernel: NVRM: on the primary VGA device.

Use of other console May 22 17:40:48 localhost kernel: NVRM: drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in May 22 17:40:48 localhost kernel: NVRM: corruption and stability problems, and is not supported.
Created attachment 4025 [details] Output of dmesg i booted the system at 17:40 and i had to do a ctrl+alt+RESIUSB reset at 17:42:17
Today i dont have the problem The only modification that i did is to change the grub from graphical menu to text menu I believe strongly that this will solve my problem because i cannot reproduce any more the bug 9746 too.
:( I have the problem again. I tried also with linux-fb on boot. But i cannot reproduce the bug 9746 any more since i boot with non graphics grub. Now it freezes either in ksplash either just after entering in KDE. I have two type of freezes. One, i can reboot only with hard reset and the other i can reboot with key shortcuts Always happens on boot after having shutdown completely. The normal reboot does nt reproduce the freeze.
Summary: Freeze on cold boot with general protection fault => Freeze on boot with general protection fault (found sometimes in logs)

The 12 August, i reinstalled the system (clean installation except the /home), and it worked after. I brought the computer to a technician, and he putted some thermic silicon behind the GPU radiator and he cleaned with a cleaning product the RAM pins. Since then, i cannot reproduce the freeze or any other related symptôme. I close the ticket. Thanks for the support.
