Basically yes. A couple of times the system has frozen with whatever is on the screen - never to recover, unable to ssh into the system, etc. Other times it will be in screen saver mode (blank) and I come back to check on the system ... then nothing happens. It is not set for any sort of power saver mode. For several days, it was fine. It would go to screen saver / login prompt and i would be able to log back in fine. Now, it does not do that any longer.
