Can you be a little more specific? Did it first freeze and then you were 
unable to re-boot, or did you discover that it would not boot after powering 
down and then trying to boot?

Is the blank screen appearing before or after the GRUB boot menu? (Are you 
using GRUB?). If before the GRUB boot menu then it sounds as if your boot 
track is corrupted or incorrectly written. If after the GRUB menu then it 
sounds like a kernel problem.

Do you happen to have a Knoppix CD lying about? See if you can boot Knoppix. 
If not, you may have a hardware problem. If so, you may be able to repair 
your Suse installation by re-installing GRUB or changing kernels.

Cheers!

east to Alabama! :-)
