5 My suggestion is to boot without X, without loading the graphic driver module
6 (nvidia, ati) and without any other driver that is not needed for basic
7 functionality (dvb, bttv, alsa, usb . . .). Maybe you should try not to load
8 the network driver too. If it is not the heat, you could have some interrupt
9 issues. A while ago, with my old P3, I had a similar problem. My problem was
10 that my network-controller and my soundcard didn't like to share an interrupt
11 together :) and the system hung up very often. For me it was unreproduceable,
12 what caused my problems, but finally I got behind it by testing each
13 component step by step.

15 So don't become desperate. Try everything you have in your mind. Sometimes the
16 least promising possibility solves the problem
