Re: Problem of Squid on Linux Redhat 6.2

Defenitely smells like a hardware problem, but your problem description
is a bit vague... it is either a hardware problem, or perhaps the
machine seriously runs out of free disk space. The "monitor blinking"
symptom might be X trying to start but failing due to out of disk
space..

Quick check: On the LILO prompt, type
  linux single

then look around the system, especially the available disk space.

If booting single user does not work, then you most likely have a HW
problem.
