Your system freezing up may be indicative of a bad memory module. You
may want to get a Knoppix CD or DVD and run memtest86. You may also
want to check that your fans are running fast enough. Overheating is a
frequent cause of lock ups.

I think it must be the fans. I made a bootable floppy of memtest86+,
and waited an hour and 15 minutes through a couple passes, and
cancelled it. My heatsink is really hot, though. I thought it might
make a difference if I powered down until it was cold, then booted up
and compiled, but nope. I also recall when I was compiling a kernel
before that I got messages and beeps every few seconds about
temperature and running slow or something. I'm now running a kernel I
compiled from that one, so I must have changed something. I'll see
what happens if I go again with the former kernel.

Thanks.
