:-[ OK I've got a new one. Now when I run unreal tournament 2004 for approximately two hours on my Linspire machine for no reason it just lockup. I mean no mouse movement nothing I have to reboot the system.
Has anybody else experienced this problem if so please let me know. I am not knocking linspire it can happen on any type of machine. All I know is that when I was running under Windows this did not happen. But I don't plan on going back to Windows.
Thank you for your assistance

Check your video card. It may be overheating. While you are in there check your cpu and ram as well. If they are overheating you will get the lockups you describe.

OK this is what I've done so far I have checked the temperature on the CPU and it's with in tolerant range then I popped the case and check to see if the fan on the video card with working and it was. I tock out the old DDR-RAM and put new in it. Just for fun I reformat the hard drive and installed windows on it XP ran it all day long with no problem. Put Linspire back on it and it lockup. The computer is a 2.6 Ghz machine. And it belongs to my daughter and she likes UT2004 oh maybe I should mention this when she is not playing the game it works fine go figure.

Write down the time when it locks up, then look at /var/log/messages and see if it shows any error at that time.
