Bruce,

we need more information than this. Do you have screen output? What process was running? Check the subject to make sure nothing is wrong with it (e.g. cerebellum attached)

There is no screen output, the screen goes blank. I am not running freesurfer myself, I am just the admin for this system, I will try to find out if there is something wrong with the subject.

That said, I don't think I've ever seen a freesurfer-induced hard reboot. Sounds more like something is wrong with your machine (that's always a developers first guess :>).

This was my first thought also, however the system works fine in any other context.

Thanks,

Joe

cheers, Bruce

Hello,

I am having some trouble with freesurfer causing a system to hang. After processing a subject for several hours the system becomes unresponsive and a hard reboot is required. The system doesn't do this except when freesurfer is running.

Here is some info on the system:

Linux 2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp

There are 4 processors: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz stepping : 7 cpu MHz : 2799.707 cache size : 512 KB

And lots of memory: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 3022 1826 1195 0 70 1399 -/+ buffers/cache: 356 2665 Swap: 517 0 517

Thanks for any help or ideas,

Joe
