I see two possibilities for the problem here: |
| 27 |
- your harddisk is full and it locks on that (it shouldn't crash on it |
| 28 |
though) |
| 29 |
- Some other piece of hardware is broken (processor or memory) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
This behaviour should never turn up in a normal functioning system. If I |
| 32 |
needed to guess, your processor is overheating, and it is triggered by |
| 33 |
the decompression. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Good luck with it, |
