If you have MAGIC_SYSREQ enabled in your kernel config, you can do a |
| 6 |
clean reboot fro the majority of lockups by holding Alt and SysRq and |
| 7 |
pressing S, U and B in sequence, which respectively sync your drives, |
| 8 |
unmount them (and remount read-only) and reboot. |

It's a lot more friendly to your filesystems than hitting the reset |
| 11 |
button and should work unless the kernel has crashed. |

As for the cause, faulty memory has already been mentioned and I would go |
| 14 |
along with that. The fact that it happens when you have several sessions |
| 15 |
running, and thus working memory harder, adds weight to the likelihood of |
| 16 |
this. |
