/dev/console is dead

Hi all

This is not a problem I've come across before so I was wondering if someone 
could put me in the right direction.

Basically, whilst at the console of my machine (standard Red Hat 6.0 on a 
Pentium 100, 32Mb RAM with a couple SCSI drives) on boot-up, I can log on 
and do what I need to do at the console.  However, when the machine has 
been left running for a while, I lose control of the console.  I can access 
the virtual terminals and still do what I need to do - there doesn't seem 
to be anything else strange that I can notice, except that the screen just 
looks at me blankly.

Any pointers as to what may be going on would be greatly appreciated...
