Usually, but not always, I can ssh in, send a few signals to some applications and then type 'poweroff'. This kills the ssh session so I cannot see what happens after that but on subsequent reboot I see complaints about the system journal being corrupt/not-cleanly-closed - so I guess that it does not shut down cleanly/completely. This could be because anything that tries to write to the screen freezes due to the crashed video card; there are many messages send on system shutdown. But this is a guess as I cannot see anything. -- Alain Williams Linux/GNU Consultant - Mail systems, Web sites, Networking, Programmer, IT Lecturer. +44 (0) 787 668 0256 https://www.phcomp.co.uk/ Parliament Hill Computers.
