List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, perhaps you should mail some information about your hardware and your curre= nt=20 kernel configuration, otherwise no one will ever have an idea whats wrong. However, I think anyway we can give only general suggustions. Usually lock= ups=20 mean hardware problems and those are difficult to detect from software, but= =20 based on my personal experience there are often based on memory problems, s= o=20 first you should try to run a complete memtest86 test (say 'all tests' in t= he=20 options). Next you could/should capture the output of your system via seria= l=20 console, this should give you more information than the screen may give you= =20 when your system crashes.
