No, nothing. memtest (when the machines stays up long enough) shows no issues
with the ram. This machine is a dual-boot machine and Windows shows both
cores of the CPU. Windows occassionally reboots but not as frequently as
openSUSE hangs.

The store where I brought the machine from says it's software problem (they
ran a 17 hour test under windows and it showed no problems) though I'm not
convinced. Either way though, I would like to be able to prove what the
problem actually is.

Thanks

Dunno.... memtest shows nothing when it hangs?, boot from the rescue
disc, don't use a full blown OS to run it.... Make sure you have the
latest bios for your MB.

According to support.asus.com the latest BIOS for your MB is 0403,
released on 2007/08/28

I really recommend you to run memtest from a livecd. Also check the
specs of the MOBO and CPU to see the normal temperatures.

Check /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature, I'm getting 40ºC on my
workstation (uptime 31 days) an 48ºC on my laptop (uptime: 7 days),
i'm not sure if that optimal but at least i'm running them without
problems.

Ciro
